If your FPS is below 60, it'll be hard to get a good score. There's some bug currently that makes the exported .jar game run with low FPS. But when I run it in Eclipse, it is at 60 FPS. I'm working to solve this issue. And if I can't find the source of the problem, I might update the game to make it less fps-dependent (fast bug fix).

The bug is no longer (seemingly)!

Hey, this is excellent! I find the jumping a bit to uncontrollable though: like it's so slow that it's hard to time jumps as you move faster - but I love the style and aesthetics... very promising.

Good graphics, I like the look. At first I thought it is a waveform on the background, seemed so cool. But turned out to be just a background image.

Very hard to play.

I found it really difficult to time my jumping, but it was really fun once you got up to speed. :)
Good game :)

I like the idea of time flowing differently. Creative!

Nice game, graphics are excellent. My computer is slow so i got 30 fps and that unplayable, i tried that on another one. Good game even if the control are difficult.

I really like this. Kinda Zen like when I got into the rhythm of it!

The soundtrack is terrific. I'd love to have it in game.

My gawd this game is difficult to master! The color cycling background is beautiful and the art is enjoyable. Excellent use of the theme!

Fun game, really hard! I never got farther than the 3rd enemy.

Liked the idea of time passing slower as you move faster. The jump mechanic wouldn't really have needed a charge feature though :/ Also liked graphic style!

Nice concept and aesthetics! The jumping could have been a bit higher, it is kind of hard to tell if the character was jumping at all and if he was going to hid the weird red things.

Splendid physics learning game :) very hard jumping mechanic dude.

loved the little bug. the jumps are so rewarding that i cringe every time i miss a jump. neat background. liked the reasoning behind wanting to live as long as you could.
