Don't wait until the next frame to recurse the rebound.  In my collision
detection I let the movement continue as far as is possible during the frame
that the collision takes place so the frame displays only the results of the
bouncing.  What I see at creases is a smooth migration toward the center of
the crease until the player is directly on the crease.
