Some browsers may not play the music for the game when you play. I don't have a way to fix this. If you are having this issue just switch to a different browser if you have one or download the game.

Cute and surprisingly smooth, even if Sclormbo is all too eager to hurtle themself forward onto spikes.

Out of curiosity, is it possible to make it back from the coins' locations to the checkpoint without dying?  It looks like there are a couple of one-way areas due to the fireballs.

Game is looking really nice, but...

It is really unbeatable in sky location. I spend literally 30 minutes trying to pass killing circles, and checkpoint system (that started to bug me earlier) just made it unbearable for me.

I would like to see whole game, but now it's difficulty is not set approprietly. If you will update it to be adequate, I will gladly return and finish your game/ 

I just updated the game. I made so changes to the sky area to hopefully make it more enjoyable. Let me know if you have anymore feedback

I finished it this time. Did not see/feel any changes in sky area. Checkpoints are still too far. I am not the only one to notice, I can see.

Either way, game is fun (except snowflake blades), pleasantly fast-paced (it took me 15 minutes, 12 of them - sky area).

Good luck!
