gosh seeing the gameplay unlocked an ancient memory ( read: 2007 ) of playing an indie game called xWUNG that had the same yoyo-ing effect.

Oh, nice! I'd not heard of that one, but judging by the first TIGSource link xWUNG takes inspiration from the same game I did: Japanese cult classic Pendulumania (2000, CANO-Lab) https://www.mobygames.com/game/17800/pendulumania/ with both of those being mouse controlled. One of the challenges I had to "solve" was how to move from analog to digital control.
