Nice simple game, takes a little too long to get challenging

Simple game, not too much going on as far as I can tell, would have liked some variety for the obstacles that you jump over.

Haha, I enjoyed everything.. from reading your LD page, and the video, to the headbanging adventure on the wheel. I too went the hamster wheel route on my theme, however it's a completely different experience, so I love seeing what you did with the idea. As for constructive criticism, I would agree with @tattomoosa that the ramp up in difficulty seems a bit slow. Great job with your entry!

At first I was all, is this it? That's fine, I'll jam out while doing some hops to these heavy bops. Oh snap, it's speeding up. Wot?! It's changing locations! First try 30. I had fun and laughed.

A funny game, difficulty and variety takes a little while to kick in, but I'm glad I played a bit more than what my attention span told me to. Not the most ground breaking experience, but the jokes were quite good
