A cool reimplementation in a neat package. The SFX are way louder than the music though.

Cool entry. I am soooo bad at those games... 55 score so far I wonder if I'm gonna beat that xD
Nice! After I got the hang of it I got to 326 and saw the Princess float down -- fun to get a little reward like that after seeing my guy faceplant several times. Love how it became a kind of percussion rhythm game where you had to read the music quickly.
This is a nice little puzzle game and waaay more fun than I was expecting. My high score was 207, even with getting hit by a spike or two.
Notes:
- Is there some sort of music playing in the background? I can 'just' hear something, but I cannot make it out.
The princess descended! I scored 367 points. It was all the more satisfying as 300 points seemed quite unreachable at first, and trying a few more times while typing this at this point I am still very far from consistently winning too, 300 was the perfect threshold for me and I had a lot of fun playing.
Ahah, I guess I've got too much free time (although ironically I probably won't be able to play games this week-end) but also taking on a challenge is half of the fun so spending more time on the games proposing one is all good to me.
I've yet to play yours, from reading the comments it seems you made a long one just like last year, I guess I'll start just now and see how it goes.
Really fun concept here! I liked the different kind of blocks requiring different amounts of hits to mix up the gameplay as you're trying to speed your way to a high score. Thanks for making and sharing your game!
Well that got my heart rate up! lol Great game! simple to pick up and play but hard to master. I really like the speed of the game. Nice work!
Can't remember the audio but had fun mashing and reacting to the spikes
Bang boom pow PUNCH! Once my wrist recovers I'll try and conquer it again.. (282)
I enjoyed the speed of this game! it really tests your reflexes when you get a good rhythm going.
