       I made this game ten years ago without framework. It took my free
       time for months to develop. I find myself having fun playing it
       today. Maybe some will enjoy

       | I don't know if you're looking for feedback but I found the
       | spider doing something other than what I wanted when I tapped
       | more often than I expected. I think me practicing more might fix
       | that.
       | 
       | The control instructions might bear repeating to help with that.

       | Really fun game! Really cool how well touch worked in browser on
       | my phone.

       | Nice game, got lost a little in it.

       | But the time to try again takes a little too long, would be nice
       | if the level would load again very quick.

       | Very enjoyable. Tree levels are very difficult. Still fun.

       | Those leaves. I'm going outside to kick some nature, that'll
       | teach it!

       | This feels like such a clever and sneaky improvement over the
       | classic jezzball mechanic1. It captures that "I can just make
       | it"-aspect perfectly, and has an incredible level of polish.
       | 
       | It all feels perfect, standup75.
