Really well made. I was 5 seconds late for school on my first run :) Great idea that smaller steps are faster, but longer steps are more precise, and easy to place.

This mechanic is so innovative! I\u2019m so impressed!\n\nConcerning the graphics you did a great job, the graphics is so simple but at the same time so beautiful. It fits so well with this kind of gameplay.\n\nConcerning the audio, the music loop is great. But the thing i liked the most were the big stomp sound effects. It was so satisfying.\n\nOverall I like this game so much. I had an amazing time playing it. This kind of game mechanic is so innovative I haven't seen It around in any other games! I can\u2019t believe this haven\u2019t got more votes than this! This deserves better! Thank you so much for this experience and good luck in the future! Have an awesome day, and I hope to see you in the next jam!\n\n(Another thing, I got to school exactly when it began.)\n![Namnl\u00f6s11.png](\/\/\/raw\/0fa\/9\/z\/e318.png)\n\n\/\/ Isak from @liquidbrain\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"phi","author_uid":"1000641","time":"2017-12-07T20:32:53Z","epoch":1512678773,"modified":1512678773,"text":"@dudum-lare Thank you so much for your kind feedback! :)\n\nHowever, I'm afraid you may have been between 0 and 0.5 seconds too late for school...

The soundtrack was very nice and the sound effects were funny.\n\n###How to improve:\n\nObviously, there's some room for improvement with the graphics of the person but aside from that, I'd recommend making the foot move faster as to make the game faster paced and harder to give the \"late for school\" feel to it.\n\nBut overall, it was a great and hilarious game, well done.\n","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"cerno-b","author_uid":"1001753","time":"2017-12-08T23:57:26Z","epoch":1512777446,"modified":1512777446,"text":"The first genuinely funny game I've played so far. Looks inspired by Carefulzilla from LD38. I liked it a lot.\n\nNot much to criticize. The graphics were a bit simplistic for a Jam game, but the character motion was very charming. Controls were nice and intuitive and allowed for fast and slow motion depending on your surroundings. I would have appreciated a slightly stronger camera shift to see upcoming obstacles sooner. That would have allowed to walk with fast strides more without fear that a house might appear out of nowhere.\n\nThe music is very nice, but the sound effects could have been chosen a bit more carefully to support the humor better.\n\nAll in all a very funny and fun entry.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"felixsoum","author_uid":"1015030","time":"2017-12-10T22:58:44Z","epoch":1512946724,"modified":1512946724,"text":"This is one of the rare games that are both extremely simple and fun.

Very nice gameplay made out of just 1 button too, it's pretty hard to make an interesting 1 button game without resorting to some uninteresting mechanics. The balance of this game is shockingly on point (unless my 2s finish was a fluke) so well done on your testing part.
