A fun and hard little game, i just don't like that you lose a lot of points by hitting the wall, maybe you could make it an endless thing.

Great game. As the others have said, hate that bumping into the wall loses points.

Its stupid stuff like this that becomes as big as Flappy Bird. Well done!

Thank you!
About the walls. When I started this I had an endless game in mind. But I implemented the walls because with some luck, you were able to just go off in one direction and get some really high scores.

Good graphics and nice gameplay. I just didn't think it was very entertaining (personaly). But I can see if other people would like it. (a little bit to frustrating for my taste).

Very challenging! I feel like this could be one of those wildly popular games based on the fact that it is so tricky. As a mobile game with leaderboards, this could take off like Flappy Bird (pun absolutely intended)

I really like the idea, it's simple but it works. The game is hard but feels good to play. The art is pretty fun too.
Good job!

Good job on the physics, but you need to add a small random force so the player can start moving and balance right away. Also didn't like how hitting the wall immediately reset your score.

Very hard! Fun concept, but it could be better if you had a more gentle difficulty curve, instead of immediately super-hard ;)

I came really close to doing something similar! Anyway, it's super tough to balance, but it's a fun game! I think you could add some comedy with more animations on the face - something like those gameboy camera DJ animations would have suited it really well!

Kinda cute and amusing. Incredibly hard to get much score though, I didn't get any more than 5.

Really funny ! I'm not much of a unicycler though :(
Well done for your game.

This game strongly evokes the fundamental futility underlying all human endeavors.

My score was 7.

it's good idea but if you make it endless or leveled it will be more fun

Its challenging but maybe some different game modes. but that was the main thing that I felt was missing.

This is just too hard for words. I almost got the hang on it, but even so I can't get very far.

Still, funny graphics, good audio, and good use of the theme. Could this be the next generation's QWOP?

Logo splash sounded cool, but the rest sounded ok at best.
