Great job it's pretty polished for 48 hours. It just needs something to give it replay ability besides score. I only could stand playing a few times. It's not minimalism but challenges/achievements sort of like jetpack joyride games could extend its life.
Fun little game to play. It doesn't really have much replay value for the type of game it is, you need something to keep people playing it! But good job, nonetheless :)
There is something that I don't understand: The only objective of games like Canabalt, Escape or Hexagon (not super hexagon) is the score. They have no achievements, no leaderboards (at least in their first version), the level generator is the same each time you play. Hexagon have the notion of player level (line, triangle, …) but it's almost the same as the score. And even if their only goal is a better score, they are not boring. In fact, they are considered addictive.
So, what doesn't work with my game? Ok, they have better graphics, better music, better realization, but it's not replay value, isn't it? What gameplay elements my game lacks?
@My Milked Eek: The farther you go, the faster the game is. If you reach ~2500m, you will want a speed down button, not a speed up.
This was enjoyable, the different levels each restart was a nice touch, but I'm not seeing the point of the score board if the levels are changing. Felt polished and played well, however.

What OS are you using?
What is your screen resolution?
It works now.
Fun little game, but as others mentioned: little replay value. What could have been a nice addition is a speed up button.
