Ball swerves when starting a run

Comment from 31 Jul 2026 in “Show HN: Slope remade in HTML5 to load instantly on any browser, any device” Controls unclear, tilt expectation confuses
“I also wrongly assumed that the controls required me to tilt my phone and died instantly.”
Comment from 1 Aug 2026 in “Show HN: Slope remade in HTML5 to load instantly on any browser, any device” Not very good yet
