This game is hard, and not in challenging fun way, but in a "you have to have the precision of a computer to get very far," way. I mean, look at the high scores. There are only 2 scores over 1000 and one of those was obviously cheating in some form or fashion. I scored 555 and most people won't even see a score that high. It's too bad because otherwise it's a decent little game as far as aesthetics and the game concept itself go (that's why you get 1.5 instead of 0).

Excellent game! At first I wasn't sure if every play through was possible, but it seems like you're doing something strange with timing. Can't tell for sure, haha, it's not quite obvious. All I know is I feel like I am getting better at it as I play. And it sure is brutal, that's for sure!!
The controls worked fine for me. I thought you should have kept all of the mouse controls in, because i enjoyed using the mouse at first... but it seems like you were having a hard time fixing that so don't worry :)
Graphics were nice! Music fit well! Game play went pretty smoothly. Yey!
Keep up the great work man!
Is 1000 even possible?
It's all coded and executed pretty well; the graphics are pretty good too. I'm not really sure I get the gameplay though...I go up as fast as I can to avoid the spike floor coming up from the bottom, but as far as I can tell there isn't any way to avoid the spikes on the walls...I mean, it's just random chance how far you get before a spike is placed to kill you?
Shouldn't the game reward you for doing better? The fastest way to get money is to just grab a clump of money near the start and then die. Getting farther up just makes more dangerous hazards appear. Shouldn't there be a money bonus based on how far you got like in launch games? At least make the coins be worth more the higher you go.
