It won't run on mac os x 10.8. If you want I can give you the error log (just talk to me on twitter, I don't want to spam the comments @dioiminik)

I'm not sure what the challnge is, since there are no opponents, only bots that actually scared and run screaming :) but the music is perfect, so i played until the track stopped

This game is a way to easy :) But the music is cool!

I was hoping for redemption, but I didn't find it.

Interesting if a bit repetitive.

Good job for your first LD.
Howerer your game suffer from gameplay issues. We don't really now where is the challenge, you just run into people with your character. It's hard to see any win/loss conditions.
Good music, nevertheless.

It works on my osx. A little lagging, though.

Nice graphics. The sounds were well used. I think if you had voices of the guys dying it would have made it better. Short and repetitive, buy if you added some more features it would be even better!

I like the simple aesthetic and the tense soundtrack, though more obstacles and enemies will add a lot. Good work!

Music is good and sets the tone well.
The game itself is basic though a nice touch some people will panic and run away.

Not sure why but the game performs very badly. Lag sets in as soon as 2 or more infection animations occur at the same time, this should not be problem, even for Ruby.

If you speed this up x 2 in both movement and time left the whole thing will become more frantic, then with a good running animation for the anti-hero it will gain a lot of character.

Nice graphics and very cool music. The gameplay would have been cool if there were missions or something tike that, but thats just my opinion.

The music is good, the game feels too easy because nobody tries to stop you.
Props for Ruby, I love to see it used by game developers.
