This is really fun little inversion of "hunt the bad guy". Took about 10min to beat it but it was a good kick getting there.

I dunno exactly why, but I love that game ! :)
Wasn't quite clear what the objective is (took some trial and error) and the behavior of the enemies was a bit frustrating to predict. I think it would add a lot if there were more trees and they obscured vision, and if enemies moved in discernible patterns. Hope you spend some more time on this, it's definitely got potential!
My eyes hurts a bit from the contrast of the graphics, but the rest was pretty good :)
It was a pretty good game, but I think if you had decided to make the game without the tile based system and just used a large maybe even still repeated scrolling background it would have felt better. Though I still enjoyed it - I really didn't like the non changing landscape I guess except the trees. my score was about 200 :P
Found it difficult to track the movement of the player. A bit sticky too; some smooth movement and I may take another look
I would have preferred smooth movement and predictable enemies, I got frustrated fast :(
Hmm ok well I managed to run away from goat-riders for a while, certainly had a sense of hopelessness to proceedings.
Interesting. It's really hard to evade enemies.
@DeathBySnail @lucas-b.eyer.be What do you guys mean by "smooth movement"? Non-tile-based movement?
