It was really fun, but one problem, there is infinite jump. I just got my neice to help me win, she would jump i would mash the arrow keys, never needed to use the slide.

Fun, but a bit buggy with the collisions.

Thanks, I made this in 7 hours though. The bugs are a symptom of "Ran-out-of-time" syndrome.

First of all, I had popups when downloading your game. Try not to use advertisment upload sites. Try dropbox. The first 10 seconds it was fun but mashing left right quickly became annoying.. :( On the bright side, I felt like I could never ever reach her so I just gave up and will be forever alone. 5 on theme for that!

Very fun, you are talented

not bad for a game made in such a short amount of time!

Hmm, it was wonky on my machine. The screen dimensions were off and the mouse seemed to be clicking about 96 pixels above where the mouse actually was.

Aha! Got it to work, but it appears Joe can FLY!!! and never quite catches his bride to be... Fun graphics though.

The graphics are rather nice, and the premise of the game is funny. Like someone else said, the infinite jumping makes the game rather easy.

Mashing the buttons left and right tires your hand too quickly -- maybe you should have done a more traditional runner where the running itself is automatic.

Well, as others have said there is the problem of the "flying joe," not to mention the creepy premise (chasing down a girl that has refused your advances, and is now running from you...........), but, not bad for such a short amount of time.

Also, I agree with caranha, going with the "automatic" running, a la Canabalt, may have been a better option.
