When doing this the animations finished fully -- or maybe I just got lucky.

I think it is dropping some of the touch events. As for the crash, I did find that earlier actually, it is looking for a sound effect that is not attached. That is fixed in the next build. And yes, you did get off easy, that level is much harder when the wheel is turning :-) Hey Dan,

Now that was fun! Yep, can confirm wheel isn't turning so I guess I got off easy. Where bugs are concerned, 1) The acceleration slider seems to be sticking more than before but it only if you're sliding up and down. Tapping directly on the desired level speed hasn't produced a lock yet. 2) In level 17 Firewheel, I get a consistent crash when attempting to roll through the jet of steam/lava/hot stuff (I now know you're not actually supposed to go that way). The sequence is, roll into hot stuff and you get booted back to the app screen you loaded from. Perhaps a really fast melt down before the snowball gets into the hot stuff will end the level before people get that far? Dan Hey Ben,

It is still do-able, but you can also short circuit the puzzle and the switches are not behaving as intended. Thanks to Dan, we know there is a problem with level 12.
