I didn't fully grasp how the game played, I tried a few things on the fourth loop but my mouse kept reaching outside of the screen and cancelling all momentum.

Yea, control scheme got a bit too complicated. A simple space bar push at the right moment would have been enough.
Anyway, the protons moves toward the mouse. The further away the mouse is the bigger acceleration.
It is possible to control the protons to follow the paths (but there is no check where it is until the final oval)
