Overall I loved it. Some feedback for improvement:\n\nThe player gets stuck against any walls and there is no leeway for steps. For the \"-_--\" block you get stuck trying to walk over it.\n\nThere is no visual indication of arrow keys hit or progress along any combos. I can't tell where I went wrong on some combinations.\n\nThe nature of dropping the platforms at your feet means it is necessary to type the combos mid-air. This also means there is no distinction between the platforms, as the easiest combo will still put a block under your feet. I'm not sure how this could be improved, but I could suggest dropping the platforms further away so they become a target, or have shapes with a wider variety and clear pros and cons to choosing them.\n\nSeveral times I have tried jumping with \"W\" instead of spacebar, just as a habit from other keyboard-only games.\n \nThe scrolling of the pacing feels very strict. At times it is too fast and I find myself panicking, and other times too slow so I have to wait for my next jump.\n\nI hope this helps you improve the game and improve as a developer.

I also understand what you mean by the camera being both too slow and too fast and next time we'll keep make sure to have a better control on the cameras speed next time. The platform spawning underneath the player is a tricky problem to figure out but on a surface level maybe have the player place the platforms in space using the mouse\/WASD to move it that has a lot of ramifications on multiple levels of balance but as a spitball that's the first thing that comes to mind.
