Amazing game! It fit really well with the theme, and the graphics (along with the audio) were amazing! Really good work, Gap!

Got upto 300 and something. Great game and impressed at how smooth the controls are, can see this becoming an addictive quick game to play.

A solid little game. The presentation is good although it was difficult to tell the 1s and 5s apart at a glance.

Can't seem to get over 200 - really enjoyed the smooth movement and this slight delay (?) in the movement. Felt very complete.

Wow dude this is insanely nice! There's a lot of potential in your execution here and I think it would be cool to see a mobile app of this some time in the future haha :D Great job!

The soundtrack just kept me going, it's so awesome.

Rest of the game is really good as well, a lot of fun. I encountered a bug where it would say I was dead, and not let me restart. It happened when I pressed Enter too quickly after dying.

Simple game but fun to play. It's harder than it looks. Nicely done.

Fun game with solid controls. Simple game play but the power ups and screen tilts later on add quite a bit to the difficulty. Quite polished for being a 48 hour submission. Good stuff.

Not exactly "innovative", but it's charming, polished and it kept me coming back! The audio gives it a great non-serious vibe :) Smooth performance, too (not to be overlooked for HTML5)
