I made it to the end of the level! Without checkpoints, it felt a little bit grindy, but in that time I got a way better feel for the spin and even discovered a lot of little shortcuts on the way! It feels very speedrun-able ^^
The fullscreen sadly did not work so I had a smaller window and the tutorial confused me, because when flying upwards into the spikes, it took a long time to understand what was going on. Maybe reducing the acceleration slightly could help with that initial learning.
