This was fantastic. Its a super simple mechanic and allows for so much freedom to play. I had great fun letting the runner almost escape and then hammering the time down to make him fail, and then ticking the snail's time down quickly only to stop on 1 second and wait for him to get through the portal.
The artwork and sounds were fantastic, such a simple aesthetic does everything it needs to and the characters are so expressive. This game is going in my jam favourites collection for sure. Well done for makingg such an awesome game.
