I really like this, it's super cute! I just wish I could hold the arrow keys to move rather than having to spam them. but it's still really fun, I would love to play this on an atari (:

thanks for playing. I'm sad I missed the stream :(
Originally I wanted a left/right joystick that would control movement speed. But the spam/click was already in place and I was too scared to change it before jam.
I had some power moves that got cut too. Once you collected a certain amount of dust, you could BLINK and clear the screen. The enemies should drift down at diagonal so it's harder to know which lash they will land on. Also if the enemy hits dust it stops for a second so that the timing of their descent is less predictable.
I might try to add those things if I get back to it after jam.
