Tried it. Very interesting mini game. Hard to describe but very easy to learn. Control only with tilt (a real screen saver
) and find the tunnel for the ball. Graphics, animations and sounds okay. Runs smooth on iPhone 3G. Tons of OpenFeint achievements. Made global rank #458 out of 19,000 within 20 minutes. Addictive.
Thanks to devs for the freebie!

Edit. iHabakuk announces: Now proudly world wide rank one hundred thirty (out of 34,632 at present)! Could someone please tie me off that timewaster? No, seriously: After another half an hour or so…
Very spooky soundtrack, love it. Eerily mysterious atmosphere, abstract and weird. Sophisticated: The animated backgrounds of the tiles/platforms are designed to be as distracting as possible. Works definitely with some Optical Illusions techniques (Wikipedia).
This game also offers some specialties in the user interface. I love for example, that it—after pressing the icon on the home screen or the "dot" spotlight search—starts without any further interaction by the user, which I couldn't see so far with any other iPhone software. UI virtually absent, brought reduction lowered to the point (or three points, respectively). Very applesque. Some remarks on the "name" of the game later.
Tip for the game itself: Watch with half an eye always one platform after, ensure that you don't start to squint anyway.
The peculiar with the "name" apparently has unfortunately and obviously more disadvantages than undoubted originality, and therefore the game is something like a secret tip. Really hard to find, or verbally (eg on the telephone) to recommend. Although I am also opposed in principle to names and namegiving (seriously), but in a digital merchant's shop it works hardly without letters, numbers or with some punctuation marks and special characters only (furthermore it uses three separate dots ... instead of … alt+dot). The very appreciated (thanks to Dr. Arn) and otherwise well-functioning unofficial App Store database AppShopper.com offers no detailed "about page" for the game for instance.
It's probably to be considered as a part of the puzzle. Let's see it like this.
Hopefully a few more can get it at the current price (still free, verified on May 17, 2010 1330 hours CEST), although for me personally it would be worth easily ten bucks. Five stars without a doubt! I've left a review in Austrian App Store. Thanks again!
(Short wishlist: Something like a pause button or simple touch screen.)
Edit 2: I made a quick and dirty video—maybe I held the device too flat so I had to tilt in extreme angles sometimes. Should hold it more upright.

Get that! You finally found it despite the strange name and it's still free (checked May 17 2010, 2130 hours CEST via AppShopper.com).
