Reminds me of old sports games, i.e. joystick-killers; this one is spacebar killer!!

So the game was rigged to begin with :weary:

Simple but funny, I liked it :) I'm a bit confused about how the character selection works though.

Haha, funny game!

I thought the game was being brutally difficult in the first race, then I saw the second and third...
But before I knew it, I was flying!

Alas, all good things come to an end... But not my *love for running*.

Very funny game, well executed, congrats on the twist. A very solid game for sure!

Wow. Just wow. This is honestly a work of art - even though it looks like it would be the opposite. I can't believe how much you said about life in such a short, simple, unassuming game. As I've thought about it while writing this comment, I've realized deeper and deeper what you've accomplished. Congratulations.

Really liked the art. As someone mentioned this remembered me the nice old running games... how many keyboards destroyed... XD BTW after few runs (and trainings) I finally managed to become the world champion (just before my armleft me...)! Very satisfying winning the race :-) nice work.

I didn't expect to game to tell a story and it was a nice surprise. Very touching.

The gameplay is basic, but effective, and it allows to focus on the narration. I wish there were more sounds (it's a bit too calm). The fact that the runner is outside the screen in the title screen and the parts between races is confusing (I thought the numbers to choose the runner didn't do anything, and I didn't understand immediately that I had to run already). But otherwise interesting game.

At first I did not understand why my character barely moved and I almost gave up. I'm glad I didn't.
In less than 5 minute of play I moved from frustration to satisfaction, then to shock, than to peace of acceptance. A great use of the medium. Nice work :)
