(I entered the game only after reading all the comments, so I expected the slowdowns in controls manifestation and overall lag. So i went in expecting them and was able to focus on the core gameplay you guys worked so hard on)
Very interesting concept. You somehow managed to connect upwards verticality with downwards counting. And quite effectively too! Not to mention (because everyone else already has) the cutesy artstyle makes me never wanna leave the world you guys created.
i can't wait to see how well the game feels, once you fix all the current issues in the game :)
Please do try my short game and give me your opinions as well. I've built a game that i wanna grow and ship someday :)
