Quick thing I threw together

It's interesting how you can start off with one idea, but end up making something completely different.
After playing with creating rings, such as around saturn, I had an idea for making a circular "frogger" style game. But as I was programming it, I got to the point where I had various rings rotating with bits missing, and rememeberd a scene from Tron, where the master computer is protecting itself with a ring of shields, and the game suddenly changed to a little green blob trying to escape a computer system.

It's not all that good, and the difficulty levels areen't very good.. it goes form easy, to almost impossible far too quickly, but it's not bad for a couple of hours work.

It should be game over when you touch a moving rotating thing. Otherwise there's no challenge...
Pretty cool idea though!!

I thought of making the red things fatal, but then I'd have to make the later levels a lot easier.
I was aiming to make it a way to challenge your friends, to see who can get the lowest time. when you're stuck in a red block, the time goes up 5 times as quick.
I may actually change the controls to work with radial co-ordinates, rather than cartesian. e.g. left and right become clockwise and anti clockwise, and up and down become outwards and inwards.
