When i opened up this game i had no idea what to expect.I was not disapointed. The graphics are fantastic, you really pulled off the retro feel with all the colored lighting. Then when that big red lady is on to you and the beats come in, very nice. The only thing i didn't understand, is when she catches you the whole screen goes red, and i didn't really get why( was it waiting for me to hit a button to go back to the main menu? ). Perhaps a prompt or some "you Lose" thing would be good. aside from that, really Nice work!

Quite a surreal experience, wasn't sure how it related to the theme until she took off like a bolt! Unique visual style and interesting implementation of the theme. Good job!
Odd choice in the mix of graphical styles. Hard to tell what was going on at first. Mood was well done and the music and ambiance worked together well.

The game is interesting. Its aesthetics are coherent and the graphics are really well made. But the combination could be a little better, I think.
First, it is too dark. At the start I couldn't even see my character. The coins could have a higher light pillar, since I couldn't see any coin around me after I got 6 of them (is it the total?). Also the caracter jitters on the ground.
Overall it's very interesting and with a little more polishment could be a really very good game.
I don't know why this game is so scary but it is. I enjoyed the music as the lady chases you, pretty scary how fast she can get.

Interesting aesthetic and idea.
The light pillars from the coins could stand to be a lot more visible. Starting about 6 coins in, I had to actively search for the coin and red lady, which kind of hurt the tension. One time I was just running around fully lit for a solid minute or two until I spotted the red lady. Maybe if the area was more confined, it would be good.
Some camera control would be nice, too. The way it interacts with the movement is odd. You tap A or D, then the camera will rotate slightly, pause a sec, then rotate more to reach the direction you're actually facing. It makes it hard to scout the area and keep track of the red lady. I might know where she is at one point, but then I run out and grab a coin, and she's nowhere to be found (and neither is the coin)! Additionally, holding S will just make you run in a circle because the camera tries to correct to face behind you constantly.
Pretty nice idea, although it could use a little work. The character bobs up and down while moving over little bumps, and while the art is nice, some of the terrain (maybe the ground?) needs some work. I love the idea of a stealth based game though! It's pretty well executed on that point!

Interesting! I love the art style even if I think the more realistic texture of the ground kinda "ruin" it. The light system is awesome otherwise. As for the game itself, I couldn't find a single coin after I got 7 of them, despite following the Red lady running like a madwoman. It was funny though!
Congrats!
