Nice art and background music! I think adding some sound effects would make it a lot better.
Unfortunately, sometimes, after defending while in the air, Two Buttons would stop running with the falling animation.

The art was really dark and creepy, I liked it! :D
I was only able to get far enough to see enemies once (with a score around 34000). The jumping seemed to be a bit fickle. :\
It sorta reminded me of robot unicorn attack. :P

Nice art, nice gameplay! Fun little infinite runner, but it does have some bugs I'd like to address.

One, grabbing spools of thread will sometimes cause you to stop for a short period of time. Two, shielding while falling and landing at the edge of a platform, when two enemies hit you (that's what happened to me, anyways) forces you to stop in your tracks, and you won't start running again. At all. It made me stop, which then made me write this review.

Other than that, it's pretty fun. And, nice themeception there. :D

That is a wonderfully polished game ! Really well done guys. Great art, sounds and design. The intro is brilliant.
A challenging runner like it ought to be !

Awesome graphics & style but the gameplay leaves a bit to be desired. The swinging mechanic is cool but movement in general felt a bit weird at times (getting slowed down by pickups for example) and there were some randomly generated bits that just seemed impossible. I also got stopped completely after blocking an enemy one time. Checkpoints would help a lot here too. With some tweaks this could be really fun - nice work.

Pro:
+ Great mood with art style and music
+ Awesome story and concept
Con:
- A bit hard to control
Obs:
o I had a bit of unfair situation once, I was suppose to jump but there was a scissor crossing the hole, so it was just certain death

Great job!
