Maybe I just need to first drown myself in caffeine before playing a game like this. The arrow indicators were immensely helpful UI element, but I apparently needed even more help than they provided.
Perhaps starting off with a slower vertical avatar speed, and/or slower moving, more regular, or less dense obstacles, and then gradually making one or more of those variables harder over time, could help generate and maintain a state of flow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29
I love this game-- it's a smart take on the theme. You should definitely port this to mobile.
It was really hard, but I just keeped playing, it feels really good!
I only got to 00:31:93 haha
Tune down the difficulty a little bit, create a smooth learning curve and launch on mobile.
Your polish is also awesome, game looked and felt great.
Hyper mode was a sinister addition, love that you added it, though I couldn't hang.
My scores were 23:90 on normal mode, and 7:52 on hyper.
Did enjoy. :)
Nice graphics and audio.
I got 8:61 on hyper mode and it felt godlike!
along with other beautiful Ludum Dare games.
Cheers! :)
