Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed it! 🙏
Totally fair on the movement — the Space-swap is inspired by Mario & Yoshi on the NES/Game Boy and it definitely takes a couple of runs before it clicks. Glad you stuck with it!
And nice job hitting the leaderboard! 1400-1600 is a solid run. If you want to push for 2k+, try sandwiching artifacts between a capsule top and bottom — anything caught in between gets pulled into the combo for a big score + clock bonus. That's where die higher runs come from.
