You must have spent an age on getting the limb movement right, it's excellent and very realistic. I've touched the ball a few times, more by luck than judgement as the controls are a touch tricky to get used to, but it's good fun just floating around pulling somersaults. There was a game called Schizoids on the speccy that had a similar free floating feel to it. It was a top down game where you controlled a little stick man and had to push the blocks floating around you into the black hole in the centre of the screen without being knocked in by them yourself. Was fun at the time, I meant it in case you're looking for ideas. The game looks promsing though, nice original concept.
