I liked it! It was entertaining for a bit after I learned the controls. The resolution was huge, however, and wouldn't fit on my laptop's screen.

Good job on your first game! It seems like the game is running at a very low framerate, but it was still playable. Kind of tricky at first, but then it was pretty fun!

I'm struggling to play, because the window comes up bigger than my screen and I can't see the edges.

Really innovative, yet nearly impossible to play xD Amazing job for your first game!

Frustrating game, still that feeling of success when you finally get through a level makes it worth while. Good Job!

This is great for a first attempt. I agree the resolution was huge, but also my player kept sinking into the ground and ceiling when moving up and down.

It took a couple tries but I finished both levels! I also like the grey, white and orange colors you have going!

ARRGH, I HATE THESE GAMES! THEIR SO FRUSTRATING XD That is in no way a reflection about the execution of it however! Nicely put together and and a very clean visual style. Very well done!

Solid first effort! Glad you let us touch the floor and ceiling in the first stage, otherwise I would've blown a fuse...

Tip: Use a smaller default resolution next time, the window is a bit big for most screens.

It's ok, the large resolution was a problem. The game itself is challenging, but not in a fun way. It relies too much on quick taps that are hard to control.

This is really good for your first game! The UI and color scheme is really nice, and it's very satisfying when you get past a frustrating level. Keep up the good work :)

On my macbook pro retina on Windows (2560*1600 hiDPI, 2X scaling), the window is taking too much space :/

Nifty little game, played what I could on my small screen, work on that in the future!

I like the concept but the game was unplayable because of the resolution. Did not fit my laptop screen.

Very minimalistic

Quite enjoyable, though very frustrating. When pressing R to retry, it took me back tot he first level, I don't know if this is intentional or not. Nice minimalist style, similar to Thomas. Quiet a good entry :)

Love the UI. Very nice. The game is very frustrating, i'm not very good at these. I do think since it's touch based insta-death, the controls could have been tighter. Awesome for your first game though, well done. :)

The resolution was huge, my dock comes over the window. (Was playing on OS X using Wine) But entertaining in the end. Good job on your first game!

Unable to play due to extreme resolution size.

I feel like I've seen similar games before, but I think it works pretty well here. If you don't know about PyWeek, you should check it out. It's a Python-only game competition. I think you'd do well there.

Thanks for all the amazing comments, I know the screen resolution is too high and that's something to learn for the future. And @Cosmologicon, I'll definately give it a go. I've heard of it but never entered.
