Good job would love it if you can check my game!

HAHA! Such a threatening tyrant! This was fun! =D

Great opening animation. Great art. It was genuinely funny. Made me laugh. I like how much of the gameplay is intuitive. If you stand still, you lose right away, so you learn to run. If you freeze the guards, you can get free. Its emergent in a nice way.


(My keyboard's arrow keys are in weird places, so its kind of hard to play)

Simple, excellent idea. Fun presentation.

Haha! Great WTF-moment the first time before you knew what you actually had to do. I also loled at the scene when you where chased by a king screaming "SHAKE MY HAND". Glorious!

Managed to escape without shaking hands, eventually! :D Good game!

Very fun trying to get him to charge in different directions and I did manage to escape!  I liked this a lot!

Fun game! I don't like pressing enter every time I shake his hand tho and the game mostly consists of running in circles. But I enjoyed it a lot and the art is nice. Good job!

Very nice artwork! 

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do, whenever I try to leave the guards just stop me. Unless I'm supposed to stay alive for 60 seconds but that's quite hard when he does his charge attacks and he's so fast! It also doesn't seem like you can change direction mid air.

Overall quite nice, but as this game is very death oriented, enter to restart was a bit awkward to press, I'd have preferred an auto restart. 

Why am I not wanting to shake the kings hand?

It's possible to escape.
