Movement is very responsive and snappy, feels good. Visuals are very simple, but has good readability because it has enough contrast. Music is catchy too, I like it
If i would have to point a problem, would be a run being completely ruined by running into a cluster of enemies and all of your hp (line?) depleting very quickyl, but you could say that is a skill issue
Really enjoyed it

awesome job as usual :)
The game is amazing, as always! Fun and innovative gameplay (even though it can be a bit infuriating at times), great music and sounds, and cute graphics.
While playing, I found a small exploit - on your way down, you can just mash the space bar; there's no need to time your punches. But perhaps this was intentional to make that part feel less stressful :sweat_smile:
Here's my highscore after 20 or so minutes of playing.

Visuals are great, controls are snappy, and the music is catchy. Very nice entry overall!
The game is simple, well polished and **very** addictive lol
Well done! :D

- sometimes there are little to no points to collect which drains my silk thingy way to fast :(
- gimme a restart button, love the song but if I know I won't make it its taunting me hahaha
still 10/10 honestly
Only critic I'd have is that the game is never really explained. It took me several tries to understand it.
It's just hard enough to make you want to continue without being either too hard or too easy.
And the music slaps !
I really liked the two parter, and being able to figure out what to do, as well as the glide you can do if you hold down jump instead.
I would've like perhaps some more bg elements so I get a better sense of distance flew, or maybe not as long of a room for more zigzagging? really enjoyed the game though, nice job!
