Feels very solid. The controls are good. I could hear in my head the energy full music and good SFX that would make it pop, even with that simple graphics style.

Looks like you nicely focused on the core and I can see the results of that. Well done.

Good luck next time with getting all the submission requirements in place.

Even as a prototype, this is kind of fun. It feels quite difficult, since the searchlights move so quickly (almost as fast as the player themselves, I think, so it is hard to outrun them). My best score was 9. It seems the blue gem can spawn inside a green wall, but you can still get it by moving past it diagonally.

An unfortunate loss from export rules.

(Submissions must either export as a webapp, or export to the three desktop platforms)

oh well, it gave me a reason to make a game, so I think overall this helped me
