Damn, I really wish I had an Android device just to play this. I was always a big fan of Super Mario Galaxy which makes me think I'd like this game too. Did it influence your design at all?

I can't resist pointing out that there's an x86 Android distribution available -- you can create a small partition on a desktop or laptop hard drive -- say, 20 GB -- and install it, then set up dual boot. It beats having to buy an Android device just to have an occasional exposure or run a test.
Good news: free, runs on x86/64 machines.
Bad news: only runs Android programs that either don't have any native code, or that have multiple native executables for different platforms.
I should have added that the source for Android x86 (http://www.android-x86.org/) have a way to burn their runtime to a USB stick, which is easier than what I suggest on my Web page, and might get you closer to what you were after -- a painless way to sample a few Android apps.
small suggestion: try to add some screenshots to the play store that give a better idea of what the game is. at the moment i paged through all of them and i'm still unsure of what kind of game it is.
Pretty good. A small tutorial or help page in game would go a long way though... plenty of users will install without thoroughly reading the description.
