It's quite hard. I can't even beat the first walker.
overall 4,5/5. I'm impressed!
5 stars all around. My wife and I were laughing at the messages / dialogue.
"You feel a sense of shame knowing you're the slowest walker in town"
I even feel like it embodied the low key competition when walking with someone and you can't seem to match speeds, and the path is too narrow. So you need to speed up to pass them and an obstacle. Idk it's weird. And you're trying to talk too. haha

Thanks for making this game!
I would normally point out some flaws with the game. And I guess I'm not too keen on the music, or how it resets on each menu. But honestly, the whole thing is pretty polished: well balanced, well written, doesn't overstay its welcome, and doesn't have any real issues that came up during my playthrough. Nice work.
Great entry!
I really liked the concept, the humor, the mood and the artsyle!
Really clever idea, congratulations on the entry!
