It would be great if these were synced up. Currently it does detract from the game. Overall it's a very nice game and starts to feel very real after playing for about a minute. I agree with the post above about the "shake to jump". It feels natural this way. I've switched between this and Labyrinth (Lite) a few times and can't really say I prefer either one over the other for the physics, but the "jump" and price made this the winner for my $.

I can *kinda* see where you're coming from with this comment, but I personally would rather not play the game using this method - it would take away from the "naturalness" and "reality" of the game. As it stands now, it behaves exactly as a real physical puzzle/maze device would, ie: you want the ball the jump out the box, then you have to flip the device. It makes sense. In the real world you don't balls to jump off flat surfaces by tapping on them. And yes, yes, I know this is a game and so doesn't really come under the banner of "the real world", but the point is to try and emulate a real device. Anyway, maybe the solution is to offer players both options: some people play by tapping, some people play by flipping. That way we could each choose our personal preferences. But I'd only expect the developer to implement this if enough people cried out for it, rather than just one or two... > kevlar x Says:
