While the visuals and audio certainly "could need improvement", it is impressive how many different mechanics you got to work in just 3 hours: basic movement, dashing, procedural generation and "red light, green light", that's a lot. I didn't get the light thing at first, probably because I didn't read the description.

I liked the dash.  When I was playing, I wished there was some warning before it turned red.   I think it matches the theme well and makes me think of childhood playing this game in real life.

I agree- I made it pretty lenient with detection (red light movement detection thing doesn't activate until 0.3 seconds or so after it visibly turns red). I was planning to do a sound effect or a flickering animation or something, but ended up not having the time for it.
