I don't know what your problem is...
Seriously guys, I expected more skill in playing such games from you. Just in case - for the pits, carts and other long stuff, you have to speed up (that's what she shouts...)
+ for the wonderful artwork
+ music
+ story (and sarcastic comments of the narrator :)
- There is, I think, a little bug that allows different obstacles (like the tree and hoplite) tho come just after another - and that causes me to loose too often :)
Also, considering all those people whining because of "teh game iz too harddd!", I suggest you to add an "easy" difficulty, where each obstacle would be marked "before", so that people would know which key to use and when :)
