Thanks for your comment and for playing.
I understand the problem with the balls. Here is another possibility that came to mind "Punish" players not to push him back but to slow him down. I will incorporate this in an upcoming update and give the player the choice of which option he prefers.
I had similar ideas for the controls, here would be a way to just let the player run forward when he moves the controllers. But until now I had no real idea how I could change direction, thanks to you I have it now :), if the player moves the controller left or right, you could initiate a change of direction.
Thank you :)
