I think it was a bit too easy though, especially because there were not many different elements to it (like ducking instead of jumping for some obstacles) which made it get repetitive. I stopped playing at 7000.\nLoved the art though! Especially the decoration in the background made the world seem more alive.

Maybe you should make that the more coins you have the bigger is the poop you make and give more points with the poop rather than the coins so that it encourages the player to get more than 16 coins and be \"safe\" with 2.04 speed. \n\nThe sound was a bit annoying after 15 min but hey it's pretty cool I guess.
