How do I get to level 2? I’ve climed up to the top ladder but nothing happens.

Anyway, loved the visuals, and running away from enemies was fun :)

You have to manage your "bloat". If you consumed too much calories you waistline will not allow you to pass through the gate. You have to exercise more, i.e. run or climb, to get your caloric intake back in control. There is a gauge on the left side of the screen which shows the calorie balance : if the heart turns black your imbalance prevents  you from passing the gate. 

Well not quite : if it is black it should reduce speed by 50% or so, only when it is too high will it block the gate. 

Thanks for trying the game.

I'm not very good and kept getting caught. :( I couldn't figure out a way to retry without closing the game and re-opening it. Did I miss something? Would make it easier to try again. Thanks for using Chickadee!

Yes, the game orchestration to show a welcome and restart after dying or succeeding  is still missing. It is also a real puzzle to make levels with platforms which allow the player to manipulate the others to fall of the platforms and create enough time to get the keys. I only succeeded once getting through level 2 in the latest iteration. I have some outstanding tasks to give the player more options. Thank you for trying my game!
