How does your submission match the theme?
A lot of actions in this game have multiple purposes. Spinning not only destroys stage hazards but it also helps the player's mobility and slows the scrolling to help the player further observe what's coming up ahead. Collecting Napalm Colas not only increase your score but also keep the energy bar up and speeds up the scrolling.

I think it's a little too much red, but the grahpics are nice and don't confuse the player (which it's the important) Nice controls, music and aesthetics, Maybe you can improve the spawn positions of the colas, a lot of times, it appears on the edges, and I prefer to wait the next one :P
Congrats

Too much red hurts my eyes! But the skating action and gameplay is pretty tight, nice effort!

Hey. Coming here from your review of my game. Turns out I already played your game and rated it before haha.  I liked it, thought the screen is small, at least on my computer. Really like the sounds. And in general, just feels good!

Cool, the sounds were chosen well and even with the monochromatic color scheme it was well readable overall. Only the controls felt a little bit too hard to manage. But keep it up, next game is always a little better than the previous :)
