Some nice powerups, the magnet is very cool.
Great entry
MAGNET POWERUP FTW!
Cute graphics!
Some thoughts: An indicator showing you your personal best would've motivated me to try harder.
It was also annoying how I had to press the up/down button each time I wanted to move. You should've been able to hold the button to keep moving through the lanes.
It was also annoying how I couldn't use the home/restart button on a keyboard.
Good job!
cute art, simple idea, fun concept, nice job! :)
What are the B's for and why should I risk collecting it?
Regardless of my bragging the game is really fun and should be awesome on mobile. Looking forward to see this come!
