Very lovely art style! The mechanics really play to the push your luck dynamic, striving to rise to such great heights, at the risk of literally seeing it all come toppling down, haha. My best attempt managed to achieve of height of 49 and a score of 2800. Well made game!

You won't be surprised to hear how relatable I find this, but hopefully it's still good to hear it :) But man, this really captures effectively how surreal it is to be creating media for entertainment while such terrible things are going on in the world. I really appreciate that you created this experience, and it provides some meaningful actions people can take around this important issue too!
The movement mechanic is quite unique! The core mechanic is essentially a Stroop effect challenge - in the same way that saying aloud the text color of a color word when they differ can trip you up, pressing a directional input that often doesn't align with the direction you're trying to go can take a greater level of concentration than one might expect. The leaderboard and unlock system is cool and well polished too, and your shader work is great, well done!
I get the sense of a mini-Metroidvania here, pretty cool! Piecing together the backstory is intriguing, though admittedly I wasn't able to finish it. I got all but the shield unlocked, but then it became unclear how to proceed further. Enjoyed what I did experience, great art and voiceovers especially!
This is great! I really like how much you leaned into the legal theme, haha, it gives the whole thing a wonderful lighthearted charm. The burgers and fries serving as jury is so silly lol, love it. I managed to get a height of 142m, though I'm sure I could go higher with some more practice. Well done!
