I get this error...

This is really hard, I tried for 20 minutes and couldn't get past the first level. If there was any control over which way I was rotating, then I could probably get somewhere. But the second curve just feels so hard since you have to have like perfect timing which feels impossible without lots of repetition. I don't know, but it is a cool concept and it's fun when it's not frustrating.

To fix the ImportError, you can do one of:

(sudo) easy_install pygame
(sudo) pip install pygame

depending on your system.

Very challenging game, but fun when it clicks

Wow, this is super hard and also challenging, yet so minimalistic. +1 for coding in python :)
I also considered using python, but didn't know how to distribute a bundle with interpreter and all libraries, so that the user doesn't need to install any stuff.

ah, okay, the trick is to keep spinning, when the pulse drive is strongest.
