The controls!? You've chosen the most illogical way of controlling the game. Other than that, I really liked the game. Simple mechanic that feel nice and juicy enough :)

Very nice, simple concept and very well executed. I think it would be nice if there was some backflow when you get a strike, just to give the player a second to recover...I feel like once I miss one then the game is pretty much over each time.
I really like it, but I am having a hard time with the controls. It doesn't map in my brain. Using something like Q,W,A,S or numpad 1,2,4,5 would be easier for me. Like the top left key maps to the top left box.
This one is deceptively tough! I really like the presentation, though - all the wobbling and shaking makes it feel some frantic. It could have done with some music to boost that mood, though.
Very fun!
I enjoyed the gameplay and animations. I wish I am able to remap the keyboard controls though!
The game is quite difficult but also fun! The controls were a bit hard at first.
I like the game but those controls are the weirdest I have ever seen :laughing: Game is fun though, with cool sound design and a nice game loop. It is addictive even if the controls are hard, good job :thumbsup:
Excellent game!! It's very fun but super stressful haha... took me a little bit to get the finger mapping down, which I think is part of the appeal. It takes a little bit to get good so it feels like more of an achievement (I got up to 10000 once, and that felt awesome). Graphics are great and everything feels cohesive and juicy. Fantastic job!!
Ooh, another game about moving shapes around, but between boxes instead of circles?! =)
Pretty fun! I managed to get to level 5, score of 11600, felt good when I was in the zone. Despite that, on the end screen, it seemed to always say Score 10238, maybe a bug? Failure always seemed to spiral when I made one mistake, so I think I went from no misses to dead in half a second, maybe it would have been nice to have a little reprieve upon a miss (slow down just a tad, or until you correctly file away the one you missed or something). Also, I would have found it easier if O and P were swapped, but maybe that was an intentional choice for the QWOPness of it =).
Great concept and I like this kind of visual style, fits well. Most problem for me was not being able to remap controls, as having them all on one row of keys was counterintuitive. Good entry!
Simple, but with really sound mechanics and execution. Actually had a ton of fun playing this with my friends, seeing who could get the high-score. The key mappings didn't quite seem to intuitively map to the boxes I expected them to, but I got used to it after a bit of frustration. The effects and sounds were satisfying and made it quite fun to improve and get in the zone. Good work!
The decision to have the controls use the QWOP keys is genius. It adds a different kinds of panic - not one where your overwhelmed by the number of things on screen or the speed at which the game is progressing, but one where you have to second guess yourself because your brain and fingers are syncing up to what your eyes see. Awesome little game!
I really liked this game. Only thing I'd change about it is swapping the 'O' with the 'W' boxes so the keys stay side by side like they are on the keyboard. Otherwise great job!
Great game that tests your reflexes. I'm curious why you don't use the more intuitive WASD key combination (no offense, as every author has their own freedom, I'm just curious). Great game, I think it has the potential to be developed into a full-fledged game in the future!
Nice, well done!
Super cool! The controls took a while to get used to, but everything else about the game is awesome. I love the minimalistic graphics, and the idea is easy to understand but has a high skill ceiling.
Very nice game and idea, well done :) The only nitpick I have is the choice of keyboard keys, which doesn't really make to much sense, and triggers a bit of a mental overhead. But other than that, this is a great little game ! GG
I think the QWOP was a great choice. I don't get why people are complaining. Nice simplistic art style. I wish there was a bit more time at the start to get in to the groove and then make it slowly faster. I guess the biggest missing piece is the lack of music! Otherwise really well made.
