Hills & Balls is a physics game where you
roll around as a ball and try to get through all 100 levels an mini-game levels.
The movement system uses the Phizix Chipmunk engine (http://phizix.tk/)
but features one important difference: You can only move because of friction
while spinning, thus you cannot change your motion if you aren't touching
something. This means you actually have to 'prepare' for a jump ramp, rather
than just jumping and being able to steer in mid-air. This also means
that if you are spinning clock-wise, you will go right when the floor is below
you, and left when it is above you. Control is essential to this game, without
knowing how to correctly control the ball, you could end up going at some random
place and losing a life.
