Really nice concept, gameplay is super fun and tense if you don't chase doll down in time to change its direction. Felt the doctor could be a little more agile, so in case you need to get somewhere fast, it doesn't end up being frustrating. Great submission, well done!

I liked the concept a lot, the gameplay is fun, and doll looks cute. I would recommend you to add the footsteps of the characters, big and deep for the doll, and light ones for the doctor. I hope you polish it more, a little buggy at the time but fun to play (:

I see a lot of potential in it, I think you can do a lot with this if you expand on it! Nice one

Thanks! Yeah I've got a few ideas about where I could go with it given more time

i also agree that a tutorial would be good.

Thanks for the feedback, I was going to add some tips painted onto the trees in the background but ran out of time unfortunately, I'll make  sure to give this a bigger priority in the future

Cool idea, but to make it very playable I would make the controls much more snappy on the character, with the small level size I often wasn't able to turn the doll around and bump him up. Also a tutorial of some sort would really benefit the game. I like the idea.

Thanks for the feedback! yeah I was a little worried about my explanation of the mechanics and controls could definitely use some more work, glad you liked it
