I gave it another shot, had way more fun than I expected to. Got a score of 21200 and survived for 3:37 once I got the hang of it. Definitely weird to wield it effectively.
Only complaint is that the background color is a little hard on my eyes, so yeah, good job overall!
Weird to jump... was it an issue with landing on blocks that had 1 hit left? Or was it too hard to jump the right height? Wonky physics? Of course, no pressure or anything, just a little excited to get some feedback!
