Wow, the mechanic is so unique. It took me a minute to figure it out and once I did, I was amazed. Very polished game and it felt like a calming mobile game for sure. Good job overall!! Love the puzzles.

Excellent game. Insanely high amount of polish. It really gets your brain going.
I have only one small gripe. Sometimes the direction for rotating with Z and C is reversed - Z would rotate to the right and C to the left which is a bit disorientating. It would also be good if the keys were mapped differently so that I could control the pivot with one hand and the ball with the other.
Other than that, bravo!

For Whom The Sheep BleatThanks :) Glad you liked it.
For rotation, Z or Q will rotate in anti-clockwise direction and E or C will rotate in clockwise direction. Sometimes, the directions will mess your brain if you start from top or bottom( It did mess with my brain too :p).
For two hand play, you can control the pivot with arrow keys on right hand and rotation with z/c left hand.
Overall, will rethink the button mapping in the future! Thanks for the feedback
This game is very clever, and looks and sounds great. It was nice to find surprising ways to adjust the pivot point, and even direction.
Great job.

Line BenderLove your game!
Great take on the theme. Very interesting and unique mechanic. It's a little weird at first but once you get it it's very fun!
Didn't have enough patience to go past level 7 though, those edges were rough

Ray Game Bros | GMTK Game Jam 2021The only issue I got was the keyboards choice, maybe if I got to control the pivot with my left hand and the disc with the right one using keyboard arrows I would have played it a bit more smoothly. And pressed R less times than I did. Other than that, an absolute joy and beautiful game, love the aesthetics, the music and the ideas you came up with.
I love that you can solve puzzles in different ways. I was able to develop tricks for movement and that made me feel smart :) My only suggestion is to change the restart button. I kept accidentally pressing R when I meant to rotate clockwise. Overall, great presentation and great game!
