I like the music and the colorful graphics. I wish it was a little easier on the eyes - I get that you're going for edgy serial killer, but the strobe effects in the beginning and the fast gameplay are tough at the end of LD! Maybe it'll be easier to play tomorrow :)

Great work!

Damn good music with sweet ass visuals. The strobe effects hurt my eyes but it's early in the morning here tho. :D The wall hitting mechanic was a nice touch.

Should I be worried that I like beef jerky too? :)

This would be a great mobile game. Quick, kind of like Flappy Bird and Super Hexagon. (do it)

Simple but very polished and addictive! The narrative in the form of the unlocks keeps you going as well. Haven't got to 450nm yet, but still trying. My eyes are bleeding though...

Amazing graphics and presentation on show here. Perhaps the gameplay is a bit too hard? Some neat ideas with the side walls opening up. I also thought it was neat that your webpage fits in with the style of the game. I dunno, just a neat touch.

Really good! I was able to get to the 8th tip, but no to the last one.
Man, this is hard! Sounds and graphics were also great! =D

The graphics are stylish, but definitely need to come with an epilepsy warning.

Love the vibe but it's just so fast... starting slow & gradually accelerating might make this a lot more fun.

Strobe warning, please ._.

This is polished and well-put together, but something about it really turned me off. It was a bit too fast, a bit too bright, a bit too unclear about what was being asked of me or why I would want to do it. Serial killers are fascinating, sure, but that means that the genre is fairly glutted. I didn't really feel like I'd "gained access to a deranged mind" or whatnot. It's an infinite runner with a couple of tweaks, right? Focusing on that core gameplay might make a bit more sense, since the narrative is actively coloring the gameplay in ways that it probably shouldn't.

Great visuals and interesting concept. The gameplay is good but it moves quite fast so it's hard to stay alive!

This is awesome, I love it!

There are a few issues: I thought the controls were a bit twitchy, that everything was moving just slightly too fast and that it was sometimes hard to see the foreground sprites against the supercolorful background. But none of that was enough to stop me wanting one more go. And another. And another...

Brilliant!

Ahah crazy visuals! A bit too hard but it's nice anyway.
