It looks distantly related to the old CrystalQuest on the compact Mac, especially in the indirection between movement of the mouse (or whatever play date has) and the differential movement of the playing piece. In CrystalQuest, the mouse affected velocity, here it looks like a spring function.

You're the second person to mention that game! Somebody else mentioned it on social media. I'm a hardcore Macintosh software nut and simply have no idea why I've never played Crystal Quest. Maybe I thought it was Crystal Castles? No idea. Anyway, I watched some videos last night and I do see what you're saying. I can't wait to play Crystal Quest when I get back to my Macintosh Classic. :)
