Good job!

I tried for a solid 10 minutes. I keep telling myself "Last one" but I keep trying.
At 35/36 seconds, there is this combination of wind + stone. That is so brutal
Good job on making me enjoy the game but also hate it at the same time !
Overall, this is quite an enjoyable short experience. I was able to experience it from mobile and it worked just fine. Well done!
I did notice that the stick sometimes didn't react to movement the way I expected, as if it had a tendency to recenter itself naturally.
Simple and challenging, but keeps the player wanting to achieve better scores.
Good job!
Strenghts:
- Easy to learn, devilishly hard to master
- Graphics are minal, must nothing else is needed
- The rank system is fun and I was pleasantly surprised by additions such as the breeze.
Possible improvements:
- The physics seem to work in a way that not moving at all in sometimes preferable to attempting a recovery.
Great job!
Ultimately this makes it unsatisfying to play.
The music and sfx are a great touch and add that signature Miziziziz flair.
Also I think you should embrace the spirit of Ludum Dare and review some other games, even though your fame encourages people to review your game outside of the karma system.

- The physics behind the stick are a little weird. It's almost as if gravity or its center of gravity has no bearing on where the stick goes.
- Maybe add in a variance in the music
All in all very complete game.


Now I am one with the stick :smile:
