Really tough, but also addictive!

Also, when you hit Space on the web version, the splash text for "Sluggish!" pops up, doesn't seem intended. Just thought you ought to know.

Pretty well done, far better than my entry for sure! I really like the graphic style you used.

Tough little game, surprisingly challenging... I could see myself playing a few minutes a day for weeks.

Nice game. One of the runthroughs I played, I got a magnet that gave me a boatload of coins, so now I doubt I can ever beat that score without another magnet though.

For some reason I couldn't stop playing. The fact that the "coin magnet" power was so strong made me want to strategize about where to position myself on the screen so I could collect the power-ups most efficiently, although it does kind of disincentivise going after the coins themselves. Music is very good, has that Tetris feel to it and I never got tired of it.

Very cute game. I found it too difficult. Might have been better if it started slower so I could get used to the controls and not die in the first few seconds.

Cool, I loved how creative and at the same time classic it was. I don't like too much writing my name everytime I lose, but maybe is because I lose too much :p

It's a solid arcade game, but I wish I didn't have to reach for the mouse each time I want to play again.

Fun song that lends itself well to the frenetic pace of gameplay. I liked the leaderboard, encouraging me to keep trying to get a higher score. Fun!

Very fun game- I even managed to survive a double speed "power up" at some point. This game is very addictive and challenging. Very well done. What's the idea with writing "Sluggish" when I hit space in the web version? :)

O.O I wasn't expecting so much comments :D Thanks for the support.

The space key should'nt do anything, it's a debug feature that I left by mistake in the late hours rush :(

Fun game. It felt like there was a lot of luck involved. I found the fastest way to a high score was upon starting, if a blue powerup didn't spawn, refresh and hit start (also I might have missed a hotkey or something, but I couldn't seem to restart without submitting a score, so refreshing was faster). Felt like high scores are correlated to whether or not you get multiple magnet powers (though of course getting good at getting to power ups and not dying helps!).

That said, I still loved it and it's kept my attention more than the other games I've played so far. :)

There is a big "restart" button on top of the game over screen if you don't want to submit your score :D :D

As for the hotkey, I had one initially but it kept messing with the input text so it was removed :(

This is freaking awesome! Very cool, frantic, hard - but not frustrating. Great job buddy!

Really nice game, the music is simple and slightly addictive. I also like the powerups, though the platforms dissappear a bit too quickly after leaving the screen, so you can't leap off one just as it goes off-screen.

(Can't submit score with the Enter key, or I missed something ?)

Thanks again for all the nice comments. It feels really good.

Also, I do know for you, but I can't take this damn song out of my head. It's been bugging me since I made it 24h ago :D

Good stuff, kinda wish the platforms were a bit more uniform in their movements though. Looks great and it's fun

This one ended up surprising me quite a bit. I quite disliked the way it looked and I found the music quite annoying to the point where I decided to mute the audio while I played.

Once I actually got to grips with how to play the game I found it was incredibly fun. Timing jumps, scanning the platforms, planning ahead, it felt like the same sort of thought process as playing something like Puyo Puyo, Lumines or Tetris. The selection of powerups and powerdowns really added to the game and furthered its strategy. The concept itself felt fairly innovative as well, and it was very easy to pick up and get into right way.

Overall I found the game an incredibly enjoyable experience, and feel that if a more polished version of the same concept was remade as a new game, it could end up fetching a decent audience. Good work.

Very nice game, lots of fun packed into a little screen. Good job!

It's pretty fun, however I would like to have an indicator telling me how long my powerups still had. I thought I had a double jump, but as I fell to my death I realized it had been shut off and had not warned me

Still, it's pretty fun. The sound design I really liked, it all meshed together quite well

Great music, highly addictive. I'm coming back to play this more! Slightly reminiscent of an old game called ZUB, in a good way!

Pretty good game! It was pretty difficult, but manageable. I enjoyed the soundtrack and thought it was pretty suitable. I felt the controls were a little sluggish, but it didn't compromise playability.

Simple, yet brilliant. I could play for hours. But I might go insane listening to that song for hours... Maybe add a music on/off switch. Great fun! Nice job.

Fun little game. I really liked the music and the overall retro feel of it. Only thing I did not like was that I had to constantly switch from keyboard to mouse and vice versa - partly my fault for dying a lot I guess, but it would be great if "retry"/"restarting" could be done via the keyboard. Otherwise great entry :)

Cute game. Simple, addictive, and probably the first time I've seen platforms all moving diagonally on a screen at once. =)

Nice idea. With some development this could be very cool. At the moment my life span is around five seconds!
