How does your game fit the theme?
The game is a race, but instead of playing a runner, the player character is the finish line. It has decided to escape from the runners to have fun. The objective is to run down the clock so no one wins the race.

That was quite clever!
The music and sound were so anxiety-inducing, I was so scared hahaha.
It is very difficult! Once I got found by one of the numbers it was almost impossible for me to lose them. Maybe being able to see their cones of vision would help me plan ahead.
Overall a dope experience, thanks for sharing!
Thank you :D Showing each number vision cone can be a good idea! I also intend to tone down some of the AIs capabilities post-jam to make it easier to escape.
I had fun playing this game! It took me a few tries to beat all the numbers :D
Thank you! Congrats for beating them all :D
Funny idea, love the little goals hands :D
It seems really hard though, played a couple of times and didn't manage to hide long enough, with numbers coming from everywhere. Maybe add a mini-map or something so you know where they are coming from? Or would that make it too easy?
Thank you :D Adding a mini-map is an option, but may make it too easy, as you point out. I defined multiple parameters for the AI (each number has different settings to make them unique). I suspect that reducing the maximum running speed and the listening radius for each number will probably tone down the difficulty without making it too easy, but didn’t have enough time to fine-tune them during the jam.
A fantastically charming game. A little on the difficult side but so much fun (also funny). Great Job
Thank you very much!
hard but very funny
Thanks!
Interesting concept and very fun!
Thank you! Glad you had fun!
To be honest, the audio glitching when i restart fast gave me quite a scare... so cool. I liked the idea. Great Work!
Thank you! The audio glitch is a bug of the web export (the desktop version runs much better!).
Fun Idea, really fitted the theme
Thank you!
👍
Such a silly fun idea, that fits the theme really well! Great work!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Great game! I love those numbers! Brought back childhood memories
Thank you! I feel like the numbers add a bit to the lightheartedness of the game. Glad you loved them!
Wow, I did not expect to be terrified by little classroom numbers lol
Amazing work :)
Thank you! Everything can be scary if it runs at you fast enough ;)
This is a fun game! I like, how it's essentially a horror game, just in hilarious, rather than scary way.
It kinda feels a bit unfair occasionally, since once you're noticed, there's barely any chance for you to run away.
Nonetheless, that sure was an fun experience. It will be hard to forget such a game lol
Indeed, I thought it as a “non-horror horror game”. Balancing is an issue, I set a number of parameters for the AI to make every number unique, but they need some extra tuning to give the player more “barely escaped” moments and less game overs (the intended effect). Thank you for the review!
Neat concept! A minimap might be a helpful addition to survive longer
Thank you! Yes, a minimap could help you better plan a escape route.
