I really like the colour changing outline too.
Well done.
I think the game would be better with slower scrolling but some kind of constraint when falling behind in Hardcore (like loosing health).
The ending was surprising and genuinely funny.
It was difficult to figure out the first time, but I believe I got it. Could use a tutorial page with quick instructions.
Your garden (or yard or whatever) is pretty!
generally i didn't feel like i knew what was going on. i feel like it was frequently unclear whether what i was doing had any effect on the dude running. in fact, i'm still not sure about that. the loosing condition was not obvious at all to me (was it the dude falling behind?).
other minor issues were that the camera was fairly jarring when it would move from moving to stopped (a lerp here would help). and that on the win screen it says "undefined" for a split second before it closes (ah, javascript).
Otherwise very well executed! Relly liked how the guy would perform worse when I was not "covering" him.
Maybe it would have been a good idea to make the camera a little more dynamic so it would always stay ahead of the dude.
Also: Really nice plottwist xD
Keep up the good work!
