Use the left and right arrow keys to move your player to bounce and collect coins. Don't stand around too long, or spikes will spawn below you. Every 4 coins spawns a spike, and after 8 coins it becomes every 2. Gravity will flip every 10-16 seconds, so watch out!
OS/X and Linux need to download the framework Löve from www.love2d.org/ to play.
Special thanks to my friends Fluxu, Renhoek, xKaype, and Tjakka5 for motivation!
*Update 2 Added pausing (because pausing is nice: press Escape) Fixed the aliasing on the font Fixed a weird menu bug where the player could activate the game instead of quitting
*Update 1 Fixed main menu bug causing the player to reset the game
Game is cute and fun, and the graphics are really, really nice as well.

This game is tiny. Like, *really* tiny. I can barely see it. You should make a version that's scaled up 2x. That'd make it easier for people with bad vision and/or high dpi displays.
Anyways, when I play it with Windows Magnifier on, it's actually pretty fun :)
The mechanic has potential, but the execution is lacking:
- The game starts too slow, but then picks up pace too fast - The ball moves too slowly - The spikes are very hard to make out from the background - The spikes appear with no warning, often when you collect the coin immediately above - The hitbox of the spike is too big
First of all, I love your menu. This is something that I think more games should do!
The audio and graphics suite the game very well and are coherent and complement each other. Simple and fast to get into but with an increasing challenge!
I would like it if the spikes were a little bit more obvious though.
Simple, well made game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/G4-JCtlxKuU
I like the presentation of this game, its simple but looks good. The gameplay is pretty simple too but it works for what it is. My main gripe is the spikes are way too hard to see, and sometimes they just unavoidably spawn underneath you, resulting in some cheap deaths. Still, not a bad game!

Overall a very nice entry!!! :D
This game shows how keeping it simple is sometimes the best choice!
