I enjoyed the game a lot, especially the ending which I thought was pretty quaint. I beat the game once with keyboard controls and then again with mouse controls. The mouse controls are much worse but it’s still beatable.

The gameplay is fun and challenging. The inverted controls was a really cool idea. And the visual style and effects with the music went perfectly together.
Awesome game. Great job!
The thunder sounds gave me a heart attack.
This is a really good one! It's short and sweet. I love how there is a little contour that blends with the web page, it makes the already good presentation even better.
Love the vibe, the music with the grey palette gives a "running from end of the world" feel, also not sure if the directions were needed, in practice it feels like it could be a one button game similar to VVVVVV. Loved the end cut scene too!
I got home \o/
Really nice 2d special effects you got here!
Nice game with good art, if the player got faster the further they went that would be nice. Inverted controls were surprisingly easy to get the hang of (for me). Solid entry!
Love the art style and concept. For me I found the inverted controls a little hard but that might not be the case for everyone. I would also recommend making the fences either the darkest colour like black or the lightest colour, as sometimes I found it hard to spot where they were. You could also help the player get familiar with this by having the speed be slow as first but gets faster as you gain distance. Well done!
The game is good, but the meaning is unclear—it will reach Earth, if only. And for some reason, black-and-white games remind me of games with a different eagle =)

The game is fun, but beyond the inverted controls there's not much to it.
