I freefell for a while, unsure of what to do, until I figured out what was going on: you have seek out the things that lift you up, and avoid the things dragging you down as best you can. Once I had that down, things seemed pretty easy. I was pretty much on top, wondering how it was even possible to fall. It all seemed so simple back then.
But then I was blindsided.
Something came out of nowhere, and I was knocked from my lofty perch. 'No problem,' I thought. 'I'll find those things that lift me up, and I'll be right back on top. ' But few came. Those that appeared were blocked by more obstacles, and just by trying to reach them, I fell only further. Just before I hit the very bottom, a chance wind that I couldn't even anticipate came from nowhere, and lifted me back up from the brink of oblivion.
Only then did I understand the true nature of things: sure, there's a knack to it. Put yourself in the right place, and you've got a good chance of making it. But really? It's a whole lot of luck, man. Lady luck giveth, and boy does she taketh away. Boy, does she.
I also played your game and thought it was really good. Nice job, man!
