Fun concept! Super hard though, though I guess that's kind of the point when playing as a helpless npc ;)

Hard but fun!

Nice art and cool idea. Good job

Cool narrative platformer! I did like the game and story and especially that last sentence! Though I must say it was a bit hard to read some of the texts as some felt like they zipped right past you and others took forever to build.

The movement speed felt a bit too fast and slippery, while the jump was a bit floaty. I can recommend Mark’s Platformer Toolkit. We did experiment a bit with it and I’m pretty happy with our movement controller (though it’s also not perfect, but oh well - gamejams ;D)

Also I kinda got stuck between platforms once: picture of character stuck

Overall, good job on making a platformer AND a narrative game in this limited time!

Cool game! Well done!

Cute take on a runner game. Controls take a bit to get used to, the character's kinda slide-y. Might also be good to zoom out the camera a bit? There's certain areas where I'm not sure where I'm supposed to go since I can't see the next platform I'm supposed to jump to.

Flee instead of fight? Why not, the designs are interesting and pretty enough, and the character is easy to control :P

All in all, a good execution.

Great idea, didn't encountered game like this. Instead of defeating the boss, just run away from him :) Enjoyable!

The aesthetic is quite funny. The running animation really got me. I did feel that the movement was a bit too slippery for my liking, but funny concept overall :)

Pretty funny take on the theme, but mechanically not super unique. Still, there was some nice level variety and the boss does some interesting moves. I found it a little hard to control at first but wasn't too bad when I got used to it. One thing that bugged me is how the camera snaps back to center the player when you release left or right. Anyway decent game, funny dialogue.

Very fun, game, if I had to criticize, the dash ability lets you skip large parts of the levels (especially lvl 3), some expected collision issues and also you seem to not have set some graphic setting in unity to pixelart as there are white lines showing up. But as I said, very well done!

The dialogue got me. The actual gameplay is quite fun to. After a bit of practice, figuring out what attack the villain was going to do next felt doable. One suggestion is that the camera should be zoomed out a lot more. Several times I had to make leaps of fate with no idea where I was going. Although, this is a minor complaint. The game is very fun.
