Also, I really like how each color changes the way I play. Also, did not expect a "boss fight"

BTW, I also saw that you haven't rated any other games. The system won't keep showing your game to other people if you don't rate other people's games, and if you don't get enough ratings, you won't get a final rating. Which is fine if you don't care about that, but just in case you didn't know :)

From the "please don't hurt me" point of view, it would be nice to know in advance what box is coming next, so you could launch yourself more gently if it's a red one. However, I realize that that might affect the whole game's balance in ways I can't even imagine at the moment :wink:, and might not be the best idea as a result.
Graphics are simple and minimalistic, but they do the job well and the music fits perfectly. Oh, and the cracking and falling apart animation is quite nice!
The gameplay is fun and it's a really solid compo entry.
I wish it showed me my score without having to submit to the leaderboard. But that might be just me.
Having a leaderboard is an amazing touch, but not seeing my own score in the UI feels kinda weird. Is it updated real-time on pressing "Submit score"? Also it'd be nice to see whether the loop was escaped or not in the leaderboard, as well as the lost HP.
The adaptive soundtrack works really well, and SFX are on-point.
Minimalist graphics feel like a nice choice, and I really liked the juicy particle effects.
Overall, a solid game, and I kinda wish it had an endless mode to see how far I could get.
