    WebSonic (WebGL, source code released)

    Sonic Generations Megathread

    BlitzSonic does that with springs, if I'm not mistaken. At least, I remember implementing it... Also, I'm almost sure: Portal's "funnels" do...

    @DustArma: Whoah, that's quite severe. Hadn't seen the video. @Chimpo: That's most likely the game trying to invert a singular matrix. Sylvester...
