NOTES:

• Bouncing off walls actually gives you speed instead of slowing you down! 
  • If you're really low on speed, try hitting walls as much as you can before you continue onward!
• The goal of each level is the blue/white circle with arrows around it
  • Spin around it 3 times to beat the level.
    • Leaving the goal resets this!
• Left and Right rotates you Counter-clockwise and Clockwise respectively.
• The shadow underneath you is an arrow pointing in the direction you're currently facing. (You can turn this off with 'C').

• The biggest thing I notice is a lot of early players will hold left or right and hope it'll get them to the goal, this (usually) doesn't work!
  • Letting go of all directions lets you coast.
    • If you have enough speed you might even make it to the next wall
  • Try lightly tapping in the direction you want to rotate to.
    • These levels often reward slight adjustments to your angles rather than full 360 rotations.
  • Slower speed = faster turns, try braking!
