Not because of anything you did wrong, but because I suck at timing my releases.  This has the \"just one more try\" addiction factor to it.  The mechanic is simple and fits the theme well.  Simple graphics and audio, but they fit the game well.  Overall, nicely done.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"BorisFromMurmansk","author_uid":"1213432","time":"2020-10-05T18:22:21Z","epoch":1601922141,"modified":1601922141,"text":"Addictive gameplay, but lack of background music\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Chris Fagan","author_uid":"1213208","time":"2020-10-06T06:39:01Z","epoch":1601966341,"modified":1601966341,"text":"This is a tough game - which is good!

The game plays a little bit slow and clunky in my taste. If it was a bit faster, there would be more fun with bouncing and so on.
