Love, and I mean love the art style. Fun game, the flying at the end really added to the "let your dreams take flight" vibe. However, the atmosphere would have benefited tremendously from some sound.

Yeah, really beautiful minimalist (procedurally generated?) graphics. Fun game, too!
This desperately needs an online high score mode with an infinite path that keeps on going faster and faster. Also, how about something to do with the left mouse button, such as jumping?
Liking the art style a lot. I get the feeling you spent most of your time on the graphics and missed out on some features you would've wanted to implement.
Nice concept, but not much depth do the actual gameplay.
No sound or music. Graphics were OK, i like the ghostly nature of the "normal people", it would have been better if they had sapped your energy or something.
The gameplay is quite lacking, but, I love the style... title, visuals, running animation... everything fits perfectly together. And it's unique too. Better than empty "skilled art" in my opinion. Set to some good music and a little more gameplay interaction and this could become a medium to get lost in.
The game is pretty fun, but quite unforgiving. A mistake gets you way back, but I like that. If only I could do something with my mouse cursor (Win7 keeps showing other windows when the cursor happens to hover over them). Good game!
This was pretty cool, and just about the right difficulty. I fell off once near the end, but never had too many problems. There's more gameplay than some entries I've played, but slightly more variation in the level wouldn't have hurt.
The style is coming together, but some things (the strange character model, the colour green for the path) didn't seem to fit with the grey buildings, black ground thing, and ghostly people.
Well done, though, for thinking a little outside the box and trying something different.
My system is pretty terrible and so the framerate was choppy, but I liked the art style and the gameplay seemed pretty solid. Shame I can't actually make it to the end because the framerate makes it pretty much unplayable.
Brilliant. Nice art.
I like the graphics and that when you die you don't have to start from the beginning again.
It would benefit from some sound and the mouse sensitivity seems a bit low.
Nice job... this didn't start off as a game for a different theme, did it? ;-)
Wow, this was cool. Great take on the theme as well.. Music and audio would have made this a killer game.
I really wanted to test this one since I saw the first screenshot! really nice graphics! Jumping would turn the game better! btw my mouse escaped from mousepad during play :)
Very nice visual style, sadly gameplay is lacking (but I liked that you hadn't forced player to restart from the beginning).
Love the graphics and the message is nice/theme. Would have been awesome with matching music.
I love the city scape and wish there was some way you could interact with the buildings.
