Press right to turn clockwise(to be more precise, apply a clockwise impulse),left vise versa.

Just loop as many loops in time limitation as you can, each flag gives 5 sec.

Sorry I have no time to polish for I just abandoned the first idea on which I worked tens of hours.

I think it is polished. It is true that there are no sound effects, just a single level, no menu, not much graphics and yadayada, but it plays very nicely and smoothly and it is fun.

Got 30 loops after a bit of practice. Infinite run is definitely possible with the correct technique.

Would be really glad to see stats like best lap, avg of last 5 laps etc.

And obviously more levels and online scores.

Congrats for abandoning your previous work and still managing to put a game up!

Interesting take, familiar but not sure I've played anything exactly like it. Sometimes it was easier to go backwards. Had some trouble getting through the notched straightaway but nice job

Really good work, the physics is really satisfying and getting the ball to spin up really fast while its in mid-air and then watching it ping off a wall is great! I think its really good (even if you say you didn't manage to fully polish it) :))

This is a very good game!

First few seconds I was like, how boring, but than I realized the controls were VERY interesting.
Great job!

I agree with BoltKey that the game itself was very polished. Controls, level design and timings were well thought out. And it was FUN

Congrats on the game and thank you!

Very interesting and enjoyable game with a very unique control interface. Very enjoyable. I can definitely see this game becoming a mobile hit with more levels. A great play, especially as your "fall-back".

Though it is simply made, I still really enjoy the control and the smooth experience! Nicely done for your second idea and congrat finished the game!

I could see this as a fun mobile game if there were some music and graphical effects to go along with it. And more levels, of course.

The control is easy but joyful! Gave a high score on Fun!

Really liked a physics/interaction between the wall and the ball.
Would like to see a best lap counter, and more levels!

The core mechanics and movement are definitely enjoyable!
