Backspace isn't the best button for a web game, as some browsers will interpret it and go back a page. If you keep working on this and massage the platform generation to provide more pathways designed to be traversed by the frog's diagonal flight path, this could get even better. Great work!"},{"author_name":"MintArcade","author_uid":"35966","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 12:57am","epoch":1450227120,"text":"Great fun little game."},{"author_name":"euske","author_uid":"17675","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 6:23am","epoch":1450246680,"text":"This game is hard.

It seems like an obvious case of a design issue when the player spends nearly half of the game time in an input-blocking state. \r\rSome fixes would include the frog grabbing onto ledges when hitting blocks from the side, or a slower movement in general for more precise left-right mid-air twiddling. \r\rAs it is, this felt more like fighting against a software's quirks than playing something, unfortunately."},{"author_name":"ohmmus","author_uid":"45331","time":"Dec 18, 2015 @ 12:10am","epoch":1450397100,"text":"Lots of fun!

When the platforms are set up right, it is a pretty fun game.

I thought you were supposed to collect all the stars at first, but then I gave up because some of them seemed too hard to get. Did the flies do anything?
