Letting the player press a key to start again would have helped.\n\nIt also seems that some of the words stop moving (or don't start falling) if you're in the air.

I loved the concept of having the words helping you and hurting you, and the way you had little moments like \"lover\" stopping words from crushing you and \"friend\" catching you after taking a leap of faith was really beautiful. And the ending was really nice.\n\nObviously a few technical issues, but that's to be expected.
