@TheSheep: Thanks for reporting, I fixed it. I also decreased the file size by compressing the sounds. In accordance with the rules I will call it a port to "people with normal sensitivity settings" and "people with low patience"
Hey, you only used basic shapes from Unity to keep it minimalistic, just like me... hehe I feel that some textures would have helped to give a sense of velocity, specially becaus de default character controller from Unity has a little too much of inertia to compensate every time you stop running. Texture would have helped on those areas were the player can't stay too long, to give a fair warning to the player.
I liked that you made the levels instantiated randomly and, has you managed to build a tutorial and didn't need to progressively improve difficulty, it worked. But it only work because there are few levels... the player might want to keep trying the same level until he gets it right. By the way, congrats on the level design! ;)
Non disappearing mouse cursor was a bit irritating (played in browser). The game world loked great - i liked the subltle touches like corporate-waiting-room furniture and minimalistic use of color.
Awsome game overall. Graphics & sound work together to create the Theme of the game. Very tought (or may I say "challenging"?)

I've definitely played this one more than any other in the competition. Very addictive; I had the high score for a while, but someone broke 1,000 today! It already feels like a complete game, but more would of course be welcome.
Truly great game, perfect art, solid fun gameplay.
4 suggestions: 1. Find an artistic way to reduce pop-up, maybe an interestingly textured plane that hides the non-loaded section that flies back once they are loaded.
2. Somehow procedurally generate the areas or add tons more options for sub areas and then pair them with different "backgrounds"
3. Add some audio or visual HUD clue to tell the player when the blocks falling behind them are close or not. A hud graphic that gets less transparent or a simple audio noise (like a hiss) that gets louder as the falling platforms approach.
4. Put on a site like Kongregate, add high-score submission, and watch the plays skyrocket. :)
Good news. We've decided to make a post-jam version (and add update to it later):
1. Lots of bug fixes, as reported. 2. Updated obstacles. (Better flow) 3. Additional obstacles. 4. Updated graphics. 5. Updated performance (reduced draw calls) 6. Kongregate version. (To save bandwidth) 7. Options: Sensitivity, Invert Axis etc.
Possible additions: 5. Difficulty scaling 6. Better visual/aural indicators (Is the world falling apart? How far from the ledge am I? etc.) 7. Pickups 8. Better music 9. Updated Tutorial

Good job.
Looking interesting =)

@All, thanks for the comments so far :D
