How to Make Your Own Levels in Rotate and Roll

Hooda Math's Rotate &Roll is a Flash-based browser game. Users control the rotation of the game's platform, in hopes of directing one or more friendly balls into the "finish" orb. Enemy balls and the potential to fall outside of the game's boundaries both complicate the game. And if you don't feel that Rotate &Roll is challenging enough, you can use the game's Level Editor to create your own stages.
