love the concept!

Adorable art with the crayon looking texture! A few bugs with playing and the hand not consistently killing and getting stuck when not touching the goo, but it was cute and fun to play!

The art/animations are so good in this! Really cute

I love the art so so much, it's utterly charming and the idea of kids watching the little bug struggle through a maze is just very real to life. But the gameplay feels quite off. The dying is inconsistent, sometimes the clock hands kill me, sometimes they don't, at times they killed me when I stood still, at other when I ran through them. Or they didn't, it felt super random. And the hit boxes are rather big and don't read well (an instance where the nice art sadly doesn't help). The game's idea itself is super interesting and if the clock hands worked as intended the puzzle would've been pretty cool. I'd love to play a more polished version!
Also and again, the art is so beautiful and the little animations for the game over/win screen are incredibly fun, big kudos!
