Gameplay is kept engaging by a timer, but the experience is marred by imprecise controls and a lack of challenge due to the maze design. While some mechanics, like speeding up while rolling against walls, remain intact, they do not compensate for the overall ease of the levels.
“The timer ensures that you stay engaged throughout the gameplay.”
“It is, however, not challenging due necessarily to the design of the given maze/level but more to the lack of precision in the controls (or perhaps overzealous use of some inertia mechanic).”
“Some changes in game mechanics!”
“The mechanic of speeding up whilst rolling against walls remains.”
