Well done! With a good narrative and progression on top.

Sprites are cute (through I would have liked a bit more shading/grounding of the monsters - they seems to float in a very pessimistic ballroom!)

Really love this game! Top job :-)

What a clever idea! Very cute to boot.

Thanks all :)

Remind me a little of a great little NES cart that used similar physics. Must be tricky stuff, GD, to calculate all this. Very impressed !

Updated to the latest version with some bug fixes, and checked the Creative Commons box, which was an oversight last time.

I found judging the difficulty level to be one of the hardest things, especially because I was obviously playing it quite a lot as I was developing. I thought it might be erring slightly on the side of too hard on later levels, but this morning I finally got the top score on the scoreboard, so hopefully that means its about right :)

I liked this enough to come back to it a few times. I do think that the later levels get really difficult; once the meter shows up I tend to lose quickly.

My favorite part is the care you put into the little tutorial/exposition scenes. There's a lot of polish and character.
