Pretty good pixel art graphics~ gameplay is simple but still fun!

Nice little game. Think i was lucky to find the fountain right away! I did like that the last box was really slow to push, but because of that the death guys caught up, and im 100% sure i should have died at that point, but it seems they couldnt kill me. Maybe a bug?

Keep it up! :)

Surprisingly intense! A simple concept of outrunning the death and reaching what I suppose is a fountain of youth. It has a really nice moment when you push your final block to reach the fountain, I really liked that! I'd increase the speed of the game and I wish there was some way to restart the game. Other than that, a really good time!

I love the art, cute pixel figures! I recommend putting a volume slider or off/on button and also a try again after dying.

It seems to be a nice game but there is no restart button and I would need it very much. Did you make the epic soundtrack?

Awesome art style and music! A restart button would be a nice addition. Good job with the game!

Managed to play it on Steam Deck via Proton. Couldn't figure out a button to restart/try again. Movement worked out of the box with left stick, but I found I couldn't move diagonally - I had to push the stick pretty much exactly up/down/left/right in order to move at any reasonable speed. Music was rather loud. The mechanic of pushing boxes to block entrances seemed interesting, but I didn't have nearly enough time to actually do it before the reapers caught up to me. The amount of doors to unblock in order to get to the fountain also seemed impossible. I liked the mood though!

Nice work. The gameplay is simple, but the graphics and music work in tandem with it to create a tense mood. I did notice that once I was caught that there was no way to retry or exit the game, forcing me to ctrl+alt+del my way out. While the graphics are nice, I was also having really bad performance issues for some reason. I was able to check my profiler and see it was running off my rather high-end dedicated GPU, yet for some reason I could only manage to get 15 fps. Luckily, the gameplay wasn't anything that required high reaction so the performance didn't effect my time with the game. Overall, good entry.
