People are going to expect a web player to load from the web link. If you want people to go to your web site to download the game, you might want to just make that the Windows link and delete the "web" link.

I was prepared for a typing game, but the mouse button thing made me move too much and screwed me up. I tried a few times, made a max of two jumps, then gave up... sorry.

etabubu 2013-12-16 14:03

Good point Kep. I changed the web link, thanks.

Strongly follows the "heritage" of Mirror's Edge - if it even had :D women as protagonist, her name is a noun (Faith - Hope), she has a sportish outfit, she's running quickly and she have to avoid obstacles :D

So for me, it's a small ME implemented in an endless obstacle game.

Graphics 4, Audio 5, Fun 4, Innovation 2, Mood 3. It's worht for me overall, nice job.

Forgot to mention that I love the variety of switches, it makes the whole stuff challanging!

yokcos700 2013-12-16 15:27

Really very good. I've never found a legit reason to use the 'END' key more than this, and the fact that the mouse buttons get in on the fun as well only makes it even more intense. 5 stars for you, sir!

I died due to a signpost. Twice. Everything seems to be so... lethal :P I guess I'm just not a professional train runner^^

Hey! I pressed "up" at the start, and the game crashed. :)

videahgams 2013-12-16 15:55

Just so you know, the game will crash if you press a button before any keys show up.

etabubu 2013-12-16 16:32

We'll have a fix up soon! Thanks for reporting it @mtrc and @VideahGams :)

LMB OP

Nice game overall, but could have used faster transitions so I could have restarted each run more quickly. Other than that nice job.

donutttt 2013-12-16 18:05

This was cool. It's a new take on a familiar genre, with some awesome music. Great job.

etabubu 2013-12-16 18:31

Crash fixed and Mac version added!
Thanks for the support!

Good game! It is very funny and adictive... :)

jago 2013-12-16 19:17

Very nice game! Only complaint is that special keys like Page Up and middle mouse button are very difficult on a laptop.

peripheralgames 2013-12-16 21:57

This is a fun game however, I'm playing on a laptop and many keys came up that did not exist on my keyboard so I was unable to play very well :/

parapup 2013-12-16 22:02

Cute little game, Not a bad try.

ammaralsharekh 2013-12-16 22:04

nice game . I like it

microfrog 2013-12-16 22:04

When you said "prepare to be confused" in the game, you were absolutely right. It took me a while to get used to the random controls, but even when I did, I didn't really. :P

But the game is well done. It's a great use of the theme, and I can see this getting pretty highly rated.

smirnov48 2013-12-16 22:24

I like this graphics! But game is difficult. The easy mode, made it more good, I think.

calciumtrice 2013-12-16 22:24

Really liked this! The idea was clever, the pixel graphics looked good. Would maybe like to see an instant restart button as I was keen to try again each time and the game made you wait a little each time.

I was caught out by an upper case 'I' I mistook for an 'l', the mouse buttons and those damn signs almost every time.

Good fun and one of my favourites so far.

bananaandgames 2013-12-17 02:47

If the control scheme only used the keyboard, it would have been just right. I understand it'S part of the difficulty to switch back and forth between which input and WHAT IS THE OBSTACLE ON SCREEN--but that was the biggest challenge for me.

zkenshin 2013-12-17 03:56

Liked the art and music. Good job. :)

2013-12-17 13:46

For some reason I cannot rate any game: the form is just missing. I would like to give not 5, but 50 stars to this small, frustrating and very addictive game: I just slept three hours tonight, because of you and your game-developing skills. :P

scoobyben 2013-12-17 14:08

Awesome :) Sign posts come in a bit fast, they keep killing me. The music is great

pinkmonkeyhead 2013-12-17 14:10

I loved the concept, and playing on the macbook adds a hard mode to the game hahah

playhabit 2013-12-17 18:15

Big fan of the game. It took me a few runs to understand exactly what was going on, but once I figured it out, mirth ensued. Thanks a lot!

danbo 2013-12-18 20:36

This is better than that new Typing of the Dead game

ammorechicks 2013-12-19 09:18

Good music and graphics, original game concept. Where can I send the invoice of my new keyboard?

etabubu 2013-12-19 18:13

Ahahah, thank you guys for the support!

psychomonster 2013-12-22 02:49

cool game. played it for a couple of tries... but it is hrad to beat... made 211m .-/ noob hu?

jimmypaulin 2013-12-23 19:10

This is great haha! Totally evil swapping you between mouse and keyboard like that but once I got the flow of it it played really nicely. I love the "escape on a train" setting, excitement! The sounds were really fitting as well and the artwork top notch. I would have like a faster restart between rounds as it was a bit tedious spamming the keyboard to try to get it to reset. Online high scores please!

archaeometrician 2013-12-24 23:57

Cool gameplay, the random button assignation to jump is getting challenging as the game progress. Great work !

thepsc1997 2013-12-30 17:22

200m :>
I don't be perfect :P
Great idea and gameplay !
I like it very much !
