Game can use some polish. The block placing mechanic is interesting.

I wish I could move the camera. It's too hard to place block while the squirrel run !

I don't understand the usage of the buttons below, how can i switch to other blocks? Its not intuitively!

A great concept. I think the game could benefit from starting off a little slower, although maybe my reflexes are just not what they once were :)

Damn, I suck at this game :D

But it's nice, the game mechanic is interesting

Played this on my laptop, sadly couldn't reach the button because the screen was too high :(

Interesting with the block placement, kind of hard to place though. Sometimes the squirrel would get stuck so I would have to start over.

Interesting mechanic, but squirrel gets stuck too easily and maybe moves too fast. I like creating a bridge of slowdown-blocks, it's like easy-mode.

I like the concept of modifying the level as it runs. I found it difficult to place the blocks accurately while the screen was scrolling though.

Interesting concept. The squirrel needs to be able to automatically try jumping over blocks. Very easy to accidentally trap your squirrel.
