game idea: you start at the lowest level of a cyberpunk coruscant style city-planet, and have to work yourself up. everything is one huge vertical level, where you have to come up with interesting tricks to get higher. like Downwell, only upwards.

On the BB-Tan-Clone I failed to imagine how a simple corner-collision would work. After hitting a corner, the circle should bounce differently. A comment on SO lead me to a good approach: The corner is an infinitely small circle, so this case can be handled the same as two circles colliding.

Added some more goods to the Pico-8 BB-Tan-Clone. The aim has acceleration to allow finer movement. The level is going down after each round and the shooting-position is changing depending on the first lost ball. Also I got items now, giving the player one more ball per collection.
