I'm not really sure how it relates to the theme, and the only thing that's challenging is the awkward mouse controls. The audio is pretty good, though.

Nice game, but the control via mouse is purgatory allright ;)
It does set if off from other similar games though.

Quite fun, though maybe I just enjoy awkward control schemes. Use of sound was very good - very nice audio touch at the end.

Interesting. The controls were very weird at first, but i like the new approach. I found it quite interesting that I had to remaster a basic movement in gaming.

Good idea but the controls are a hindrance.

Interesting control choice, and excellent use of audio.

I like this! The control scheme is novel and really interesting, and fun to master (IMO). Not revolutionary in its interpretation of the theme, but technically fits it with the invisible platforms. Nice minimalistic graphics. Audio is great.

My only complaint is that I'd like it much better if it were two keys instead of two mouse buttons. It's a two button game (and a fun one), but having the buttons on the mouse doesn't add anything other than making you click on the player before each level.

For pure fun value, this is my favorite of the games I've rated so far.

Cool little game, but I found the control scheme to be a bit frustrating.
