Background music is nice, but this "beep" while picking something is painful.

I actually like the graphics style!

I found a few glitches; it took me a while to learn that RED was good and GREEN was bad (in Europe green is good and red is bad, e.g. traffic lights). Also, you get an interesting glitch if you jump higher than the top, and its not obvious that the bottom is lethal, and you seem to be able to stick to the end of ledges, and you can somehow get half-height on a ledge so you are in it rather than on it.

Cool game. Very relaxing. Works very smooth. Good job with the music and highscsore table! (I'm number 1, ho ho ho ;D ).

While the Audio and SFX helped set the mood, but the gameplay and graphics end up being a tad bland. There's potential here, but needs more gameplay elements to feel fleshed out (like obstacles/timer/forced screen scrolling).

Not bad for 48 hours though.

I found myself playing this for quite a while. But even after that I still don't quite get the concept. After I became too stuck to progress upwards (are you even forced to go up?), I used my super power thing with the Enter key and got a game over. It was fun while it lasted, but the whole thing's confusing. Next time, you should invest slightly more on making sure everything is well explained.

I'm not really sure what there is to explain?

The game is about collecting pickups and that is it. You don't have to go up or down (but you can) You can fall off the screen (and it will drop you from the top) There is no way to lose.
