Oh this is a really cool idea!!  You introduced the main mechanic waay to late into the game!!  You shoud've made it from the beggining, maybe increse the lag as the game progressed. You kind of find a way to make input lag fun! Because it doesn't feel like input lag, it feels like planning. You shou totally improve upon it!

Just thought I got the hang of it then I lose instant control of it and wow it just go way harder. This is a brilliant attempt and you deserve way more ratings for this. Great effort!

Nice little game and love the presentation. The twist is cool (I won't ruin it for others) but made the game really difficult for me and a bit frustrating. A slightly turned down version of what you're doing there might have worked better. Good job!

Full Marks. 10/10 This is really fun. Controls well. Good job on the physics. Wish I had Lost my sombrero antenna sooner though. The fun factor kicks up a notch after that. Good job!
