So frustrating
So here are my thoughts on things:
The time at which I most frequently hit an obstacle was immediately after hitting another obstacle, because the screen shakes and it's hard to tell what's where. WE NEED A GRACE PERIOD AFTER HITTING SOMETHING.
Also, it's a little unfair to be hit by something from the side when you think you're already past it. Numerous times I was hit by apparently nothing, because a moving obstacle got me from the side so thinly that it wasn't visible on the screen at all, which made it look like the game was just randomly assigning damage to me.
Between these two issues, now that I've gotten the medals I won't be returning to this game. Speaking of which, I got Speedy Dodger on my NG account, but it doesn't appear for me in-game. I hit refresh at the high scores screen rather than selecting an option, and that must have skipped over the part where it assigns the medal in-game. So you may want to move the assignation of in-game achievements to happen at the same time as sending the medal to NG.
Those things aside, it IS a solid game with a clean interface, and even though I find the controls a little awkward, that's apparently just me as others find the game very easy.
