Alright people, we've made it to 42 ratings. Now, please, if you respect the answer to life, the universe, and everything, stop rating the game. I mean, it's literally a game about a broom, and we've reached the grand and holy 42. I think this is the pinnacle of existence right here.

Of course, if you want to leave feedback, go ahead and rate the game anyway, but this is quite the achievement.

Even with a keyboard that was addictive as hell! Definitely the best broom-balancing sim I've ever played. Would recommend. :)

I had a good laugh trying to manage balancing with a keyboard, and going into the setting menu to see if there was any sensitivity options:D

For me it's pretty good even without trying the controller in the downloadable build, so I think you did a great job on it.

after seeing the 420 comment, i was anticipating a funny thing for 69... i was disappointed. simple, mind numbing game. the sound is simultaneously a metronome and tongue click, and i believe you chose it to lull me to sleep while playing this game... luckily for you, i AM a pro gamer and you cant knock me down that quickly! your game page made me chuckle. good job on the game!

The funny thing about that is I was contemplating doing 69 and 420, in fact I think there's a commit on github of that rendition, but I settled on (the actual numbers that im not gonna say for people who play the game in the future). I just thought (numbers) would be "smarter" if you will, though I'm sure I've disappointed gamers globally.

This is absolutely, undoubtedly, a game about balancing a broom. It doesn't promise more or less. It is free from an endless cycle of dopamine stimulation and broken promises. No worries, just broom.
