Looks great. Harder than it looks. Love the blocky gore.

That music makes it really intense haha, makes it sound like you have to defuse a bomb quickly. It really adds to the game's tension.
Cool game, I wonder how high the high score will get.

Very addictive game.

The graphics are awesome and the control is perfect.

I had some problems running the game, I don't know why but sometimes the game freezes.

Nice little game. For me the controls were a bit laggy, what makes it harder to move. But the graphics and sounds were great! Congratultions on such a good work!

Hey Chris!

Always a pleasure to see your new games. This one was a bit laggy and it crashed a few times, which is a pitty, since it gets quite hard to enjoy it :(

I think it was an interesting design choice to let the player set the pace, if they want to get a high score they'll have to be very fast and the game gets harder. Simple but it works pretty well.

Art is great as always :)

great job!

Great job as always rogueNoodle! Fun game and your graphics work is always on point! I found some bugs with this game, particularly when I restarted the old board didn't get removed.

Really interesting idea. However, the movement seemed to be very choppy and jarring most times, occasionally freezing altogether. With that, it really killed the pacing of the game for me.

Really cool idea. But my game seems to crash every now and then...

really well done. there's something disorienting about the quick transitions and the alternating colours i think. I found i had to double check my move a lot. I love the factory stamp placing the new player on restart, and the meat grinder sound when you fail.

Simple game, but beautifully executed!

For what you were able to execute this was a good try. The only problem I had is that trying to do it faster was really hard because of the alternating colors. It would have been better if the holes had a consistent color instead of changing all the time.

OK this was evil to have to survive to get the score... but then when I finally made it (161 score) I was not logged IN! Good entry. Frustrating as usual. It would have been nice to be rewarded a little more when you made it to the end of the timer. Oh, and here's a crazy idea: time runs slower if you are really quick on the treadmill!

Love the aesthetics, but after the third time it crashed even on low settings I gave up on playing.

I shooted 5 stars for you're game because:
-reminds me the Black Mirror(the one with a bicycles)
-very nice colors, simply and clean
-inovative mechanics, and I had fund with it, really
-I've beated all my friends with my highscore)

As simple as an old Game & Watch (but prettier) and still challenging!

Hopefully you guys are aware that this will be a hit on the mobiles stores. Loved it.

Really awesome looking entry!! Very solid overall as well :D It did crash a few times on the higher settings, but I enjoyed it nonetheless - great job!

The idea is great, it's the essence of procedurally generated games. Unfortunately, it crash every 10 seconds, on both versions (checked on Chrome/FF, Win10).

Simple to pick up but so incredibly addictive it's hard to stop. I really like how the death animation was done (Was rather funny as well).

Outstanding! Great visuals, interesting and infuriating mechanic. No idea why this messes with my brain so much though. It's REALLY HARD.

Could not finish it as it freezes every now and then. Still, looks and feels really nice and it is a good match for the theme. I like that I can control how fast I want to go to get a higher score.

Awesome! Love the way the music keeps matching on regardless of the main gameplay - nice touch.

wow this thing was so hard to get to 1:00. i wish it saved your score. i was like 120 or something, and that was just trying to not go fast.

it's great! Feels like it should be some real life object game. Any chance for downloadable version?

Great idea and nice graphics and sound. Unfortunately after around 10 movements or so the game freezes (haven't played the lo-fi version, though) :S
