This is a lot of fun. The music really gets me into it. And I absolutely LOVE the dieing effect. I'm not really sure what a lodestar is, but I imagine the experience would even be better with a starry background and a feeling of being in outer-space. Superb work.
Not sure if this is a lose condition but when you miss a jump the level just scales down (I assume I'm falling?) until it's 1 green pixel. I'm not sure what's going on but I dig the music and the weirdness!
Well I'm not sure what I am supposed to do. I just pressed z and more tracks were added until I got CLEAR...
It took me awhile to figure out what was going on, but once I got it it was fun (actually it was pretty fun when I didn't understand). Great job! Happy to see some WebGL action.
Captivated me for several tries, but I couldn't grasp the rhythm aspect. I got to the third track, but I'm not sure how the 'groove' was tied to the gameplay. Also, the only way I could figure out how to restart after falling was to refresh the page, not sure if that was intended. Cool game.
I too had trouble grasping how the movement/gameplay was tied to the music, but I enjoyed playing it nonetheless. Good stuff .
This looks really cool, but when I open it up I don't hear any music- do I need to wait a while for it to load? I can run around and fall just fine, and when that happens I do hear the loud noise that briefly fades in before going to silence.
Any idea what the problem might be? I'd really love to play it!
Fenmar - Yes, technically you can finish without having fun. If you press up you will move forward and you will have to time your jumps
jfroco - Go forward with up, jump with z.
Moth - You need to jump from platform to platform with Z
tacograveyard - Try it on the latest version of Chrome. Chrome has generally had the best HTML5/WebGL support
Very interesting. Firefox wanted to intercept my 'Z' keystrokes for the page search though, the game worked better when I turned that off.

Well that was not what I was expecting! Pretty fun! *goes and plays it again* Thanks!
