@IronDingeses - Developing Thrusterball, a one-button physics based 2D platformer for mobile and webgl. Kinda new to this twitter thing, but I'm trying to get into the habit of posting an update gif/image every few days.

Thrusty Ball is a simple one-button physics platformer. Press any key to push in the direction the ball is currently facing, repeat until you reach each level's exit.
Changes:
- Minor fine-tuning to player movement
- Made a trailer
Looking for any and all feedback. I plan to release this month.

- Several people understandably judged the game by the first handful of levels that slowly ramp up the difficulty (and slowly introduce interesting obstacles), so I've made some of the early levels more interesting by adding alternative (but harder to reach) paths.
- When thrusting, your rotation is now slowed by 90% for 0.15 sec, this allows more control to more easily do things like a double/triple thrust while rotating quickly.
- Small UI rework: new button style
- More levels (making about 1 per day, have over 30!)
- New title art

Since last update:
- More new levels (up to 23!)
- Android optimisations
Looking for feedback on anything, even if it's just how far you played or if there was a particular level that gave you grief.

Simple but challenging one-button platformer.
I finally released it! This is my first game, and it took 6 months to make.
Any and all feedback is welcome, but specifically I'd like to hear thoughts from people that have played beyond the initial "let's take a look at" session.

Up to 26 levels now. Aiming for about 40 before release.
Any and all feedback is welcome!

Info: thrustyball.com
Description: One-button 2D platformer. You play as a ball that rolls around using regular physics interactions, and your only ability is to press any key to thrust in the direction the ball is currently facing. This means that the same control is used for everything: moving, jumping, dodging, speeding up, etc. Timing is everything. Takes a while to get used to, and later levels are very challenging.

Thrusty Ball is a one-button 2d physics-based platformer. Tapping provides a thrust in the direction you are facing, and physics takes care of the rest.
First time making a trailer, would love to hear feedback and criticism.
