A good concept and you have a full gameplay loop here, well done. I would like to be able to see my score at the end though: the counter disappears when you finally hit a meme, which is disappointing, as the player can't see how well they did. Similarly, it would be nice if the music was set to loop (it played once then stopped) and if some ramping difficulty was programmed in: either more memes spawning over time, the movement speed increasing, or both. I stopped having fun after a while as the difficulty never changed. Well done for finishing and submitting  the game, and for implementing some interesting tech.

Very ambitious game you have here.

I tried the webcam controls, didn’t fully cooperate with me/my crappy webcam, but still, rather impressive, and points for effort.

The game itself is alright, visual style is pretty good, music was suitably bewildering (but ended too soon).

I did find it a bit disorienting seeing the road lines(?) moving faster towards the player than the obstacles, and the game’s difficulty appeared to plateau a bit too early (eventually ending up as more of a test of willpower than skill, due to the rather low difficulty). Sure, I suppose the low difficulty is probably there to accommodate for the control issues of webcams, but it does make things get a bit boring.

I’m honestly impressed that you even managed to get it up and running in time.
