Pretty solid work there. I was most impressed with the level design. Each one played with a different idea, you have a good variety of levels. I'd be careful with #9 #stacked, I was worried about falling on that one since I didn't want to go through the monotony of all the same drops again. Over all great work.\n\nAnd I have to commend the sound effects, \"Ohhh Nooooo\" will haunt my dreams. Audio = 5\n\nControls on keyboard worked, but I could tell the gamepad would have been better.
