This is a charming game. I thought the art and music worked well together, and I especially liked the background. The surprise element was a little vague, but I did understand at the end. I thought the controls were nice and tight, and the game was fun overall. However, I think the collision detection was a little unforgiving (especially on the ground spikes). Furthermore, restarting the entire game if a player dies is also not pleasant. You could argue that as a design decision, but I do think if you keep it, at least don't replay the opening dialogue every time. Good game though, and good effort!

Loved the atmosphere! Art and music work really well together ^^
also thanks for the linux build :)
Nice game, but very difficult. Big plus for Linux version, though the menu was only 1/4 of the screen in the bottom left corner. I could still get into the game, but the terminal showed a number of collision errors such as:
ERROR: body_set_shape_as_one_way_collision: Condition "body->get_space() && flushing_queries" is true.
At: servers/physics_2d/physics_2d_server_sw.cpp:739.
Following the theme and easy to pickup, good job!
Lovely art style and music! Hitting the jumps right is a bit difficult for me. Nice job!
great art style and I loved the ending, very cute :3
took me about 25 attempts to complete though ahaha
Really cool and unique art style, I also like the music. I agree with the other comments about the hitboxes, however I still really enjoyed this :)
Great job on this game! :)
Here is a detailed review on how I rate games :)
Visual
I think your game is visually really pleasant, everything fits well together :)
Audio
Nice BGM, it's relaxing and sounds great! There aren't much SFX, but it does its job :)
Tutorial
Unfortunately none :( only a little floating text to say "Use AD to move left and right and space to jump" would've helped! :)
Gameplay
- The running speed is a bit slow but that's correct
- The idea of chasing someone made me run without taking my time. Probably unnecessary but I like when the game makes me do things that aren't explicitly needed.
- Somehow the size of the obstacles is a bit too huge, I died repeatedly on the same obstacles a lot of times :(
Fun
The game is fun, I always wanted to be a good guy chasing bad guys >:D
Bugs
I didn't encounter any bugs, great job!
Theme
Definitely in the theme :)
Very beautiful graphics, and music is well chosen ! The game is fun and I replayed it a few times ! My only complaint : as there is no checkpoint between each screen, I think the hitboxes could have been a bit more...nice ! But still, it's good !
Its a nice game but spikes hitbox feels a little strange and I think there's like half a second delay between pressing space and character jumping
Lovely atmosphere, was interested in the concept however there seems to be an issue with a jump on the 4th screen between two wheely spikes and could not proceed. It doesn't seem to be from jumping too quickly after the last jump, but specifically from proximity to the spike wheel. Sorry I couldn't continue further, best of luck in the future!
