Not a bad game, but as 24653187 mentioned, the controls are really insensitive, and I was having the same trouble crashing into things trying to be fast to get the best times I could. If I were you...I'd make the controls a little less sensitive and also I'd take out the fact that if you touch something other than a bolt you die...that kinda runied it for me since I thought "I'm rust, so other metals shoulden't hurt me..." until I touched another peice of metal and died.

Thanks for leaving your feedback. Sorry to hear you are having some difficulties with the controls. I won't be changing the collision properties of the levels as that would require a complete redesign. I think it is easier to understand and more elegant to just have the player know they have to avoid everything except for the metal bolts. I know the narrative might not make the most sense, but that won't be the first video game to head into surreal territory. ;)
I had to drop the game at level 4. I just couldn't get past the level. Even if you get all the bolts, if your rust drop touches one of the metal pieces before the replay starts, you still lose. That, combined with a sluggish control scheme, made the game more frustrating than fun.

Hey, thanks for playing it anyway. I wonder if there is a computer performance thing going on to make it feel sluggish? Well, either way--thank you for leaving your thoughts!
There is a difference between a challenge and being hard because of error.
This game needs some tweaking.
1. It doesn't follow the mouse closely enough.
2. Mouse is forced to leave screen for some of the game play; when it does, the game is unable to follow? Doesn't make sense.
3. Using keys is way too sensitive; not even worth playing.
4. Stars are too hard to achieve.
5. Finished many with 3 stars, but it's impossible on some stages.
HybridMind responds:
The mouse controls needed to remain balanced against the same time of the keyboard controls. The mouse not leaving screen issue is related to flash player and there isn't anything I can do about that unfortunately. Well, thanks for giving it a play anyway--it is meant to be easy enough to complete the levels, but a real challenge to get 3 stars. Plenty of people are getting 3 stars though on every level when I look at the leaderboards and stats, so I'm confident that a lot of players are really enjoying it. Thanks again for leaving your thoughts.
challenging with a nice mechanic.
I started playing with keys which is my preference, but the mouse became essential. I rarely enjoy mouse-control games but this one is pretty neat and there's something lovely in the rust concept.
I finished the game inside forty minutes.
I look forward to the development of your game.
Theres really no point to the instant replay other than getting in the way and making you have to click through to the next stage.

Well, a good number of players enjoy seeing how they did.
