Cool idea, but the monkey doesn't always grab a lamppost. Sometimes garbage cans appear next to the pole and you simply have no other options but not to lose speed. In general, the game is interesting, I liked it

Some serious critique of the game, it's a simple, very fun runner game which makes it feel great to build up momentum, but I've found a few issues, some objective, while some are more subjective. First, I've found that when you grab onto a lamp post and let go of space very quickly, you'll get stuck of the lamp post. Also, weird thing but the score counter goes to the bottom for specifically the number 244 when you get there. Finally, I think a short hop would really benefit this game, as you can feel cheated when you're bunny-hopping to keep your momentum and you put yourself in a situation where there's no choice but to lose momentum. It could also raise the skill ceiling of the game, but this is more subjective so I could see if you wouldn't want it. Finally, I'd remove the hacked score since it does kinda ruin the leaderboard a bit imo (mainly I just want #1 tho lol). Overall, great game!
The art is beautiful, although the animations were a bit rough, gameplay is also fun
I like the simple art.
The sounds are good; however, the sound effect when you touch a car is too loud.
Simple controls, yet creative (I love the swing on pole mechanics).
