I’ve played this for a few hours now and haven’t made it to the top. I got to the part with the slides and pool toys a few times and fallen straight back to the beginning. I don’t think the trackball gives you any kind of advantage, but I’ve kept using it because it’s more consistent than my laptop’s shitty trackpad. I am finding it hard sometimes to manage how far I have the hammer extended, but idk if that’s a trackball problem or a me problem.
Anyway, I really enjoy it. It’s the purest expression that I know of in a videogame of progression through learning-how rather than learning-that. All kennen, no wissen. Now I want to write something or do a class on how this relates to haptic perception / dynamic touch / perceptual learning. Pedagogy with Bennet Foddy.
