Thank you for trying my game. I absolutely understand that the player is slow, but after testing all movement speeds, I ended up leaving it really slow. Being slow and witnessing the beast being really quick, gave me that feeling of helplessness I wanted. I even wanted to add a gun in the mix but making it useless against the beast. In the end I might be just wrong, so I leave it at that.
Of course, since this is a jam, people might want to go through the game quickly. If you press select (Shift) during the GBJAM starting screen you gain extra speed. This is written in the description.
