Couldn't find the win condition.  None of my keys were firing a splinter. I'm assuming killing all of them was supposed to win you the game. 

It looks like theres a timer for movements so you're forced to move at the same pace as the other puppets. Makes the game feel spotty, try a different approach to that. 

Presentation looks strange and spotty. Definitely can be improved. Good luck on your next try!

EDIT: Played this on the Mac version. Works without any modifications.

I can definitely tell that you struggled during production. I like the idea behind it. The art held my attention and read pretty well. I failed to understand the game at all, though. The input -> output had a lot of lag or missed catching a lot of my input. With the strong rhythm of the music in the background, I thought maybe it was supposed to be a rhythm game? Still not sure.

I also ran into the issue others are describing where the game would not play without a folder being re-named. Thank you, Fortytwoish, for explaining how to fix that gamebreaking error.

Some instructions would have been nice, I couldn't really figure out what to do.

FYI: You renamed your Data folder - everyone trying, rename it to "Escape the Puppet Master_Data" as the error message states and it works ;)

Didn't really understand the game though - are the buttons supposed to be pressable? WASD works, but I couldn't figure out how to shoot or what the goal is.
