You did a good job.\r\rAlthough, you managed to give the game a very frenetic pace thanks to the music and, well, the gameplay; yet you don't seem to reward speed skill too much. Maybe it would be great to have a "combo timer" of 1s or so, increasing each time you collect a coin within its range, and gaining extra coins & reseting to 0 when you fail to catch it, something like this, which would encourage the player to go faster and then hypnotize him even more.\r\rStill, everything else is solid.
