its kinda frustrating, but that is the point I guess, cuz you are not in control, music and art is cool! also like that parallax effect with the background.

The feeling of jumping in the game is very nice and felt like I could just do that for a while. However, making progress is very difficult. Not being in control of the direction you move is already a difficult premise, so making the walls you have to progress through invisible just seems cruel to the player. If you had better control, sure invisible walls are fine, but with no control it increases the difficulty a lot. Maybe this is just me, but I kept getting confused about which direction the arrow indicated I could jump. My brain wanted it to be rocket trail, so I get thinking backwards was forwards. Again that may just be my brain.

Good work overall!

It feels like a Bennett Foddy game, in a good way.  It has the frustrating feel where you feel like you can lose progress at any point.  

I wasn't a fan of the direction periodically completely changing directions, although I see how that makes it match the theme a bit more and made it more difficult to get stuck.

Less frustrating than I thought it would be somehow. The spinning mechanic did wonders for making me feel like there was always a chance to proceed. Less positive were the times I got stuck inside one tile-wide blocks and couldn't escape. Though it's clear you were aware that happens, since it's literally part of the level design.

The direction is totally random, to make progress had to wait for a while to make the "perfect" jump, thankfully the music and sound effects are really good!
