Interesting take. Controls feel rather solid, and it's quite fun scrambling to get the pole to rotate properly so it can be propelled through the stage.

Impressive and simplistic game, full scores all around.

Solid fun game! Had to play it a couple of times to get the hang of the control, but it was entertaining.

Hillarious. I found it really likable. Bookmarked.

Very nice entry! The physics felt a little inconsistent at times, but that's more Unity's doing, I think. I got my best score (75) by just holding the A button...

This is really nice. It's a brilliant wee score attack game. I would have liked a high score display though.

Great game. I found it a little difficult to control at first but soon got the hang of it. I really like the visuals and they fit the theme perfectly. Best score was only 43 but I'll definitely be having another go at it.

Really addictive!

Great idea, i love simple games like this.

Fucking addictive! And frustrating! =)
Good job anyway!

Very solid and neat idea. Had a lot of fun with it. You should put it on kongregate (or similar) as it is a nice highscore game.

One of the most fun LD games I have played. Super frustrating in a good way. Very addicting as well.

Nice and simple. Reminded me a bit of QWOP (This is a good thing)

Great game! This is one of the best takes on minimalist gameplay I've seen so far. Simple yet extremely complex to master.

Cool! Love the idea and the game play - pretty hard and tons of fun

Solid controls, fun game, and fits with the theme. Good game!

fun and addictive, realy hard, kinda like qwop

great idea and game! as with many physics based games it can be quite frustrating (especially when you nick the side of a square and lose all your momentum to angular rotation) but very addictive. nicely polished controls. I got 165.4 by taking it slow and trying to keep the pole at a constant angle. The level gets quite hard there and you need a lot of height. Does the level ever end?

Excellent, this is the new QWOP...
Canard Sauvage6 May 2013, 19:56
Wooah - quite hard. It took some time to get it controlled. Great game, fun and addictive and it fits the theme! I only missed some music.

This ia a great idea! And fun :D

Perfect little game - love it. My best so far is 94

I had a lot of fun with this! 2 things I would change - its really hard to get past the You Win message at 200m, it would be nice if you could pass through that and it just does random obstacles afterwards for a highscore chase. Also, every now and again there are some physics bugs if you exactly hit the join between blocks.

Nice concept but this kind of gameplay drives me crazy ^^
Could use some background music I think.
Canyon14 May 2013, 12:17
The game does not need much more tweaking, you have really nailed the mechanic. When I die, I feel it is my own fault not the games, which is important, considering it is a physics game. This makes me want to play again and master my skills.

Unfortunately I could not get the sound to work but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt. Cool game.

excellent!
Adding some musical tone range to the blocks at the bottom would add a whole new layer to the experience.
