That was fun. Thanks!

Fun but controls were a bit confusing and rather annoying to learn.

Turn keyboard some 30-40° counterclockwise. ;-) (Or add "dir -= .25 * PI;" and brackets as needed around line 322 in game.eel.)

Why Up=left ? It's pretty unusual and consequently hard to control. On the other hand : It's pretty fun!

It seemed natural at first to have controls world axis aligned, and I got used to that. Fixed (as described above) in version 0.3!

It was hard to control, but very fun.

Plays like other old school marble games, so the controls are fine for me. Do the enemies ever fight back?

Couldn't open the 0.3 zip, winrar says the archive is damaged.

SonnyBone: If you played the 0.3 version, that's where I rotated the controls 45 degrees. Should probably be user configurable...

And no, there's no AI whatsoever. I was short on time. :-)

jeffz: Strange... Tried 7-zip? (Built with Zip 3.0 on Linux.) Also, file size should be 1244287 bytes.
