Hard, but fun! The fish are the best! Also, good to see another LÖVE user. :)

Its hard! Cool graphics!
A good game. It looks like not very consistent on the world things (they are completely random? including the position), thus, it is a bit slow to advance. On the other hard, it makes thing hard and you cannot simply play this without any concentration (like doodle jump), which I think is a good thing
Christ, this was a stressful experience. I gave you a 4 for fun but with the understanding that "fun" in this case means "panic and hysteria". Everything's so precarious! There's nowhere safe to stand! AAAARGH
The first level of this game has that feel to it that you might (in lesser games) only encounter when you're about to face the last boss, you've played for hours and gathered the necessary skills, and the game's throwing everything it's got at you.
But here, WHAM, you get hit with all this stuff right off the bat. Platforms appear and disappear all over the place! Fish make you shoot into the air for some reason! Nothing stays still!
This isn't really a complaint. I did enjoy it. One criticism I do have is that it was hard to tell if I was making any progress — I didn't notice any appreciable difference between one level and the next. And when I died, I was taken back to what looked suspiciously like level 1, though I couldn't be sure. Some more differentiation between levels might help.
Neat game though.
Although I didn't understand the connection of the theme, It was a ton of fun and the music and graphics were amazing
@renatopp: Yeah, the randomness can mess you up sometimes. I did add some weighting to the randomness to counteract that, though; if one section of the screen has fewer clouds/blue flying things in it, it's more likely to spawn things there in the future.
@rob: There isn't really any differentiation to the levels, true. The number of arrows at the top of the screen show you how much further you have to go until the end, but I didn't really make that clear.
The theme was missed, however I'm glad I played this!
Really fun, I wish those orange blocks came more often though. They are the only stable thing you can stand on (until they abandon you like everything else does lol). Good job!
Incredibly challenging, but I kept coming back for more. I like the variety of objects you can use to help you on your journey.
Augh, this game is so difficult! I would really love to reach it to the end, but I just can't! I had to give up.
The graphics are cute, the music is peaceful, it's so much contrast to how brutal the difficulty is!
I also disagree with other comments - I think the game fits the theme pretty well.
Well my stress levels are through the roof but I really enjoyed myself at the same time! This is a great, panicky little platformer with just the right balance of difficulty to make you come back for more. I'm afraid to say that I didn't complete it but I felt sooooo close on occassion...
Graphics and sound are nice and the premise is cool and well connected to the theme. Good work!
The gameplay was SWEET. The music building up over time was really cool, the graphics all fit together. It was just really cool and I liked it a lot.
I don't get it. I stand on some clouds, then they all disappear, then I have to restart. What's the point ? (didn't rate it yet)
Nice game graphics somehow reminded me of Bouncy Bit.
Its obvious that you are an experienced gamer and you understand that EASY = BORING. Great game and good luck to you!
@Marcellus: Have you tried jumping? The goal of the game is to go upwards; if you fall off the screen, the game ends. The controls are listed in the game description and readme.txt.
Very fun. I like the gliding mechanic and the variety of platform types.
Nice but the platforms don't really show in way to help me progress...
Great graphics, cool innovation, great job!
Is it just me? I don't seem to be seeing what everyone else is seeing? I hop from cloud to cloud until they all disappear and just fall. Sometimes the blocks show up but disappear before there is anything to jump to. I have seen a fish, but along the bottom of the screen. No help there. Not going to rate this, as it's most likely me.
@Stan Sypek: If no more clouds are spawning, then there's definitely something wrong. I can't imagine what might be causing that, especially given that blocks and fish are spawning correctly. Maybe there's some problem with the drawing that makes them invisible under certain conditions... Do the blue flying things in the screenshots appear for you?
@CogentInvalid Yep, I see the blue things, but they spawn up high, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be able to jump on them or not. I'll try it again tomorrow night.
@Stan Sypek I have the same problem. Unfortunatly, I can't survive longer then the first couple of seconds of the game. Sometimes things spawn, but always too high up to save me from my certain doom.
