Music and art are killer. Took me a minute to fully understand the gameplay, but once I did I appreciated the addictive nature. Going back and trying to collect all of the stars to unlock more modes was also fun. Love the nod to BitTrip Runner with the music building too. Lots to love here.

Nice art and the central mechanics work nicely — even though the sprites are large and detailed, making the game space very tight, I didn’t feel any gameover to be unfair.
Also that music is huge!
That's a huge compliment. Thanks! Happy you enjoyed it!
We were fortunate enough to be able to tune the cranking to the experience on the actual handheld. That's why we set the amount you need to get going so low (so many hand cramps while testing).
We also added the possibility to speed up using buttons instead of the crank in the settings, if you want a crankless experience!
Depending on the overall feedback we get we might keep working on this. So we'll definitely take the feedback to heart!
Steering with the crank and punching sound fun :D
The design, the music, the gameplay are all top-notch, and the change in music depending on the speed of movement is super cool 15/15
