I got the speed is like running a hurdle race. It takes very little to get what the game is about, tho it takes quite a bit to master it.
Press the space button to jump the green ball over oncoming white blocks. Every time you successfully jump the green ball will pick up speed, making the white blocks come at you faster until you?ll find it difficult to dodge them. When you lose, check your high score and challenge yourself to do better next time.
Is there a point in this game where losing becomes inevitable? Would it be possible to rewrite the game to avoid that?

Hah, awesome. I need to try this game again and see if I can get it.
Thing is I don’t think it was designed to be beatable at any level. I suspect that Kikaru just threw this thing together and called it good.
