Okay, here goes...

This game is just overall confusing, the colours are vibrant and it's easy to distinguish spikes between other things, which is a good thing, but I don't actually see any other positive things about this game. The negatives though, gee there is so many but I will talk about all of them: Firstly the spike algorithm is broken, sometimes you get two spikes on the bottom and on the top which makes it literally impossible to pass without losing, Secondly the restarting system is confusing as hell because instead of the game teleporting you to the start which would be a normal thing it just restarts the game as it is so every time you want to restart you have to move back to the beginning or just a place where there's no spikes. It's just frustrating to be honest. Thirdly the text behind the game is a bad bad idea, why didn't you just use the black space that is huge in this game? It would've been clearer the text moving behind the actual game is hard to distinguish and to read the whole thing you need to wait for it to loop a few times. Therefore, in shortened version, how you could improve the game:

- Move the text in the back to the black spaces above and below the screen, it will make it clearer and less annoying to read

-Fix your spike algorithm, it's broken.

-Make the restarting button teleport the player to the start and say something like "Click any button to start the game" that would prepare the player for whatever is coming and would just be nice overall.

- I haven't actually included it in what's wrong with the game but while I'm here I'll just say that there is no score, you should add one. A sense of achievement for the player makes him more interested and likely to play more.

You could also refine the game by:

-Making the animation smoother

- change spikes so they don't look like a pile of squares (unless you were going for pixel art, but it seems like you tried to make it minimalistic) You should do the same with text.

This game was done badly, but just because it was, don't give up! You can take the criticism and do better next time!

I should clarify that the "Black space" isnt really there.... the game is 64 x 512 so the black is just filler made by Newgrounds. I have talked about the R thing, Restarting the whole game seemed like a normal thing to and I wasn't feeling normal, which why i ended up with a broken system. and yes it is Pixel art, everything is 32x32. and The text could scroll more smoothly, but again i did that on purpose... And the reason i ask for feedback is because i will make a updated version will more in it. Please PM me for anymore ideas THANK YOU!!

There is a white (sometimes magenta) strip with some cyan triangles in it. There is text scrolling by. You can move a black square around using WASD. I didn't notice any music or sound effects.
Not sure what the point of the game is - if it's unfinished, or broken, or what.

Arg410 responds:

Made in 3 hours.... so broken (The R bug)

The reset button doesn't appear to work.....

Arg410 responds:

Yup this is a R bug, I explained in other comments :)

Can be pretty fun in short doses the gameplay can be fun, obviously the graphics aren't very good but i think that was the point, could use some music and a tutorial or something as it kinda just throws you in, also you shouldn't have to press a button to respawn it should do it automatically, anyways pretty good game but could use polish

Arg410 responds:

The reason i made these was that i wanted a game focused on little UI and just throwing you in there.... which is why i made it start slow and get faster. and i understand the respawn thing... sorry, it was to fix a bug of where they wouldn't respawn at all.... I might change it back to the old.

Work on your spike spawning algorithm man, kinda broken and also add something to make it less dry, like music, etc.

Arg410 responds:

Yeah i Know. When you click R i spawns another spike... it was to fix them from not spawning at all sorry.... i kind of like it, adds to the game
