Nice little concept! I love the game-over transition and the music. I think the game would benefit a lot from being a bit more difficult: perhaps getting faster over time and limiting the amount of time for which you can hold the space key.
Thanks for playing! I spent a lot of time on that transition :) I'm also glad to hear that you liked the soundtrack :D
Also thanks for your suggestions - I might add some after the jam. Even though probably not in the nearest future, but I really appreciate it!
