I applaud your attempt at a story for an 8 hour entry. That takes effort! The game play was pretty straightforwards but functional. I think for your graphics you'd get a lot of mileage out of using a color palette (there's some great websites for generating them, like coolors.co) It really boosts the visuals on games with simple graphics!

I'd really appreciate if you could give my game a shot as well and tell me what you think!

Nice and short game. Good job for that short of time! The game gets very repetitive after some while and also the text is a bit too slow, maybe change that up a bit. But still, nice job for this short time!

(Also I would really appreciate it if you play my game too ^^)

Really interesting and unique take on the theme! The game could use some improvement on the visuals and overall feel of the game, but still, good job nonetheless!

A cool text narrative meets runner game.

(I know you made this in 8 hours so I apologize if my feedback seems overly critical but my goal is to give feedback that can help other devs in the future)

Pros: relatable and powerful message, a cool blending of genres, easy-to-understand mechanics

Cons: jump was really floaty, no way to quickly advance the text, lack of sound made the game feel really open both in the text portions and the runner portions, it seems as though English may not be your first/primary language, and if that's the case then it's completely understandable, but if not then the number of typos/punctuation errors was a bit much even for a jam given that the majority of the game is spent reading.

Overall it's a cool blend of two very different genres and given your personal added time restrictions it's definitely impressive that you have an entry at all, certainly one with this much polish.

Love how u managed to take on theme. Had a few issues loading a game on weBL, but win build is ok. Good Job!
