The web version wouldn't load for me, and although the Windows version did run fine under Wine, there was no sound (not sure if the game has sound or not, I couldn't rate it). \n\nNot much to say about the gameplay other than that it was well executed. Simple, tight, responsive.

The feel of movement and the way the tail adjusts as you're looping is really nice. Not sure if this was left out or supposed to be there, but I had no sound.
