I really liked it, it made me feel like running from something and had to control my body from the fear. Good job!

Trick-or-TurboI didn’t get very far but I had fun with trying to balance the controls. Character looked cool. This one could do well in the 2 bit jam as well coming up I think. Very clever!

Point Click KillerOh nooooo not QWOP :'D. Nice idea and concept. I enjoyed it, thanks for making!

OneirophobiaNice, unique controlls, really liked that - but maybe it was too difficult, I think I did my best to move forward, but it was a bit weird. Really liked the minimalistic graphics, nice pixel art animation as well. Some music would be nice. GG.

The LighthouseFeels a little awkward that you cant breath while walking and you have to alternate between moving and breathing. Also, i guess it doesnt give you steps, but spamming jump is much easier than walking. I like the concept though, with the right touches i think a Qwop/getting over it type intentionally obtuse control scheme could work well for horror.

The IntruderYou know, I totally agree with you. I actually thought about making it so you can breath while running, because it would be more realistic, but honestly I had this specific concept in mind where you had to juggle it all separately, and I don't think it was ultimately successful. The jumping thing also occurred to me, and if I could do it over again I'd remove a lot of the forward motion from the jumps. But as you say, I do think there's something here, maybe to be developed into a different game at some point. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback.
(BTW I'd love to play your game, but I only have a mac. Any chance of a web build?)
Well, thanks for playing, anyway. I definitely intended for the controls to be difficult so you had to focus on the actual mechanics of running away, and to replicate that feeling of trying to run from something in a nightmare and not being able to. (Hence the inspiration from the game QWOP.) Funnily enough, someone else in the comments said he thought maybe the controls were too easy. It's hard to nail it for everyone.
Fun game! I like how it's not just the running and jumping, but having to control the breathing as well. Captures well the feeling of running from something.

The BroochFun QWOP style game. Very strong sound design, the breathing is great and the death sound is sharp and satisfying.

Spooky Pumpkin Toss99 steps. Sounds good an characters looks good. It seemed to work pretty well to hammer the keys, if to improve upon probably to be more unforgiving to that.

Dead Cry DeathReally good sound design, and great way to emulate how frustrating QWOP was lol. Got to 137 steps.
