Haha for anyone who sees this green blocks slide you and orange blocks slow you down (I think)

Broken controls.

I'd like to enjoy it, but I keep sliding into the first and second pits and I can't get anywhere. I assume the animation at the beginning is telling a story, but I don't understand it.

The controls...

they are too slippery. I haven't come across the third black stuff, which, of ~30 tries, failed me 2. The other tries were evenly spend at the first and second blacks.
The graphics but I liked very much!
