Interesting take. Controls feel rather solid, and it's quite fun scrambling to get the pole to rotate properly so it can be propelled through the stage.

Solid fun game! Had to play it a couple of times to get the hang of the control, but it was entertaining.

Hillarious. I found it really likable. Bookmarked.

Very nice entry! The physics felt a little inconsistent at times, but that's more Unity's doing, I think. I got my best score (75) by just holding the A button...

This is really nice. It's a brilliant wee score attack game. I would have liked a high score display though.

Great game. I found it a little difficult to control at first but soon got the hang of it. I really like the visuals and they fit the theme perfectly. Best score was only 43 but I'll definitely be having another go at it.

Very solid and neat idea. Had a lot of fun with it. You should put it on kongregate (or similar) as it is a nice highscore game.

Nice and simple. Reminded me a bit of QWOP (This is a good thing)

One of the most fun LD games I have played. Super frustrating in a good way. Very addicting as well.

Great game! This is one of the best takes on minimalist gameplay I've seen so far. Simple yet extremely complex to master.

great idea and game! as with many physics based games it can be quite frustrating (especially when you nick the side of a square and lose all your momentum to angular rotation) but very addictive. nicely polished controls. I got 165.4 by taking it slow and trying to keep the pole at a constant angle. The level gets quite hard there and you need a lot of height. Does the level ever end?

Wooah - quite hard. It took some time to get it controlled. Great game, fun and addictive and it fits the theme! I only missed some music.

I had a lot of fun with this! 2 things I would change - its really hard to get past the You Win message at 200m, it would be nice if you could pass through that and it just does random obstacles afterwards for a highscore chase. Also, every now and again there are some physics bugs if you exactly hit the join between blocks.

Nice concept but this kind of gameplay drives me crazy ^^
Could use some background music I think.

The game does not need much more tweaking, you have really nailed the mechanic. When I die, I feel it is my own fault not the games, which is important, considering it is a physics game. This makes me want to play again and master my skills.

Unfortunately I could not get the sound to work but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Cool game.

excellent!
Adding some musical tone range to the blocks at the bottom would add a whole new layer to the experience.
