Nice dodge-the-thing-game. Love the neon aesthetic.

Nice execution of the theme. Sometimes it feels a little bit slow. The neon style is a bit to much for my taste.

Cool game! It really reminds me of mine hahaha I would recommend you to put a timer on the slide and make the character to get up after 2 or 3 seconds (or whatever), because at some parts the sqares are just above the ground and just by pressing CTRL you can pass them. Good job!

Solid game with nice theme and fun simple gameplay! Perhaps a bit repetitive in graphics and music, some variation would be appreciated.

Neat! Though at the higher speeds I had difficulty distinguishing low and high obstacles. Maybe they could have different shapes or colours or something of the like?

Neat idea. My best score was 15. Only suggestion would be putting the slide action on the down arrow key.

Nice approach to the concept! I really liked the neon aesthetics, and the music and sound effects fit in quite well.
