head throwing mechanic is great. I wish you wouldnt be able to spam space so much tho. The rest of the review goes more leveldesign, sfx, music etc

Thanks for the feedback! I'll see if I can implement a way to rebind the controls for the more "complete" version down the line. =)

Hitboxes need to be a bit tighter, I think, and animating your orientation would have helped, but I like the head-throwing mechanic.  Potentially interesting  risk/reward decisions there if you're rolling at lower life.

Hey! Cool game, I love the music! Though the background is a bit distracting, next time try to make the background a bit less saturated.

Yeah, "Fix the background" was another thing on the to-do list, just a placeholder to show the artist what he was working with. Glad you like the music/game!
