Found the controls pretty awkward, and was disappointed in the lack of a 1-player mode, but there's clearly a solid idea here.

Having score set to 0 by default makes jumping into the game not really possible, I had to check the Newgrounds description to find out how to make the game work.
Also the menus are in general a bit confusing.

yeah, i'm not too good at making menus from scratch in Construct.
it's very difficult to get that nice middle of Informative and Intuitive!! i'll do it better next time around
