Cool little endless runner, the arts clean and the gameplays fun, only thing I'd say is those darn blue blocks were really hard to time

Exactly my type of game, an intense quick reaction arcade. Unstable time is a killer. I'd love some backstory as to why Einstein is running... or is that the payoff after getting to the end? Really smooth and polished graphics, excellent job. Also there needs to be a special 4-hour COMPO category made just for you!

Although I suck at this game (can never get past the blue ones), I really enjoyed the overall game loop and thought the mechanics were cool. Great game!

Simple, Clean and Engaging with extra points for 4-hour time limit. Great Job!

Nice game to quickly play a few runs. Really easy to get into, and I liked that the obstacles become more transparent if they don't have collisions. Sometimes I feel like some obstacles are really close together which gives little breathing room. Short, simple and fun!

Cool idea, good implementation! The game is pretty fun to play. It's surprisingly funny to die from your own hands when you look ahead too much :smile:

Though sometimes it felt impossible and unfair. Getting a perfect balance is really hard (_especially when things are unstable_)

Very smooth and polished for only 4 hours! It looks really good and it is fun to play, although pretty difficult. I think it would make sense to have some dedicated keyboard buttons for the blocks. Like left-up-right or something. When on bigger screen, it takes some time to move mouse and click on them and this would make it much easier to control. Besides that, great entry, love it!

What a great game - a portal flappy bird! Beautiful ui, would have loved some hotkeys for the three buttons.

Fun game, love the concept and the execution is great. I love how obstacles turn more transparent if they're not an issue - really improves the game play experience. Would love to see some sort of expansion upon this!

Nice variation of endless runner :) Really liked sound design here. Nice job.

Incredible work for the time you had o: Respect!

To those that are asking for key-binds, I highly suggest playing on a smartphone or tablet, as I think that was the intended platform. Your scores will double ;)

I didn't quite feel like the stability theme is present in the gameplay as much as it is in the game's premise.

The game is unique, fun, and even educational as it brings up ideas about space, time, matter, and gravity and ties it to our beloved Einsten.

Great gameplay. The way you utilize those three mechanics are awesome. It takes a short time to understand the mechanics, it takes longer time for your brain to adapt to the visuals. Very nice idea, and well executed! Good job!
