Thank you for a detailed review! Glad it was able to convey the theme in many ways and that the voice acting caught you off guard! As for the enemies not being able to catch up, it was a decision I made as when they were the same or faster than the player it became exponentially harder. Especially if the enemies follows you into the next area making that section even more challenging. I was hoping the less speed would make the experience a lot easier, but also not too easy and from what you wrote it seems I accommodated that balance. Thanks for playing our game!
