A decent game. Congratulations! However, if you are cautious and move slowly, it is possible to avoid any danger completely. This is probably not what you planned.

great artwork, adds a lot to the whole experience.
avoiding sticking for long in a single direction and doing the occasional dodge with space bar kept me alive.
i was able to stick for the duration of the clock but nothing happened?

Cute game! The sprint action feels very satisfying to use, and the cooldown on it sets a nice pace without being spammable.

It seems like the very first foot that spawns after starting has a high chance of being invisible due to a bug, which can lead to some early deaths, but the rest of them work well! Would be nice to see the feet animate back out instead of disappearing!

The game art is very unique, and it's clear that the creator has infused a lot of their own aesthetic into it. Moreover, it's rare to find a game that aligns so well with the theme. Keep up the great work!

Neat game, the art is super good! I enjoyed the sprint ability, it made it easy to stay out of danger haha. Good use of the theme too. Overall, cool entry!

Love the art, especially the variety of shoes! The dash ability feels very smooth and the longer cooldown adds some suspense and danger. Great job! :D

Enjoyable game! eEnjoyed dashing around quite a bit even if my overuse of it got me killed quite a few times. A pretty unique and fun take on the jam theme for sure!

Love the game play, very good moment to moment loop. I only issue is with the speed to restart the game after death. Having a simple restart after death would be awesome.

I love the art style. I successfully escaped in 2:35 (after a few attempts).
I didn't realise escaping was the goal at first. I assumed it was just survive as long as possible.
The black bars on the top and bottom seemed to not be in the right place, and the time at the top never changed from 2 : 0
A keyboard shortcut to start would have been useful to quickly restart without having to reach for the mouse.

Nice game, I especially loved the visuals. This game has a unique feeling.

It's a hard game. If there is actually a pattern in feet movement, it's hard to notice, it felt too random.

One thing that can be easily improved is directly restarting the game scene after failure, instead of turning back to the main scene and clicking a button to restart.

Keep up the good work!
