The menu had Q and M on it to change stages, and then + to start? I tried pressing + on my keyboard, shift and not shifted, and I wasn't able to get it to start. Maybe a different key would work better?

I don't know why but I just could not get over the alien control gap, my brain insisted on misfiring constantly and sending me into a wall or something.  10 minutes in I was like, why am I not learning this?  The QM is such a simple idea but holy crap my brain would not accept it even when I was really concentrating.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The ludicrous, useless double vision background thing was crazy, the sneaky mines that look like the background color were nasty, and that 10 minutes left level was completely nuts.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Good job making something so innocent get so weird with just a few small twists.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The level select was a very nice feature to have in this game, and good on you for not locking them until I beat previous ones or something.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Top score was 44 on SNAKE.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>If I could make one change to it, I would quicken up the retry loop."},{"author_name":"yuigoto","author_uid":"50909","time":"Dec 26, 2015 @ 7:12pm","epoch":1451156820,"text":"This game is quite challenging, and it's a nice take on the classic snake game! :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Controls are quite difficult to get properly and it gets a bit confusing, but that's part of the challenge in the game! :P\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The 2d\/3d overlay feels strange, though.
