The concept of being the hunted is really interesting! I think the deer being slow is actually good for what you are trying to go for. I also originally disliked the mouse movement but grew to like it, but maybe experiment with other movement styles. My one main problem is that it was hard to tell at first if something would block the laser or not, so maybe make that more visually clear. It was also hard to tell what direction the laser was coming from at first. Otherwise, great job!
