Haha, beating the first level still counts! And points for actually reading the instructions, you're already ahead of the curve there. :)
That's solid feedback on the camera, too. Not knowing where it'll swing in from when you zoom is a fair gripe, a small indicator showing the marble's incoming camera angle could definitely help. I'll pass it along to the team.
And don't worry, Nyx forgives the unworthy... eventually. Thanks for giving it a real shot! :D
