Fun concept! Though little difficult to get the hang of.

Still, it's a nice idea! Good job!

Interesting idea, definitely a little hard to control. I hope lupey makes his parent's proud!

Fun concept but difficult to control. You should be able to press either button no matter the direction it is facing. I couldn't figure it out right away.

Really cool concept! However, it is very difficult to play. The graphics and audio are really quite good and once you get the hang of the gameplay it can be pretty fun.

Once you get used to the controls, it gets funnier. Nice job.

Really enjoyed it! But input cooldowns make it feel very slow sometimes.

Interesting idea, fun to play, although I did frequently find myself in situations where neither corner was facing in a really useful direction and I had to just make movements hoping I'd tumble into a more useful orientation. That's either funny or made it hard to feel in control depending on your perspective.

Great mechanic there, pretty accurate with the story, but maybe a bit difficult control lol. I liked it

The first attempt I had no clue what I was doing, but I got first on my second one! Fun game, a simple but interesting mechanic.

Took a moment to get handle of the controls, but once I got into a flow it had quite nice gameplay flow.

This is a really interesting concept, I really like the idea of unconventional controls but I felt them a bit on the unforgiving side, specially while on the floor.
The audio was fantastic and the story as well, well done!
