Gorgeous visuals and the simplicity of the premise (esp with the title) really worked. I do wish it was a bit harder-- I couldn't tell if you had implemented this, but if you haven't, having the reaction window shrink as the game went on would make this a lot more engaging and probably quite addicting.

The art is nice, simple and fun gameplay. However it feels pretty easy, like when the player miss the box, but can make the jump anyways because the qte is still there

Liked the background drawings alot and i think it was very well balanced. the time to hit the key was just right and made for a fun challenge! Nice job!

Pretty good drawings. Very simple gameplay. But it's themed pretty well -- being chased by a murderer!

Very simple. Yet almost addicting. well done.

Not too shabby! The drawings are lovely, the vibes are creepy, and the music is spot on.

Nice entry! One interesting thing I noticed is how you handle the distance between the chaser and player. The chaser never jumps over the boxes, so it gets pushed back simply by hitting the boxes . And if the player fails the quick time event and hits the box, it gets pushed back similarly to the chaser--however in the process the box is knocked over, so that the chaser won't hit it and get knocked back. Smart way of handling the chase mechanic! Good thing the chaser does not know how to jump lol :D

Really cool visuals, I like

what a cool idea. I’d never considered making a horror endless runner before even though the concept seems so obvious. I love it and thought the graphics were really fitting.
