Cute. You were right that the game mode was a lot more fun than the story mode, haha. Having to press enter while you're trying to play was very distracting.
Beautiful graphics :), did you make the drawings by yourself?. For some reason at the begining I didn't know I could move back and forward. My highest score was 335 :) not so good :(. Nice game!.
Great graphics and good game play. Once the initial group of people were done there were only sporadic encounters making the game quite boring and easy.
Deeeeaaan! Love the graphics! Animations are beautiful, and I love the little heart meter <3 This is cute. I wanted to get the girl, but playing with the cutscenes just takes too long, gets frustrating when you suck at games like me.
Really great looking game. Love the smooth animation and style of the game world. Nice twist on Infinite Runner style gameplay. I did find one issue - when I played story mode, or game mode and got past ~300, no more enemies would spawn. Other than that, great work!
Cool. Wasn't sure about the difference between game and story modes. Liked the graphics a lot. Wanted some sounds. Like another, it reminded me of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BiMYjVvhxE
This is a really lovely entry. I was sad that the story mode just suddenly turned into an endless walk... was that intended? Game mode was innovative in the sense that the danger was not you being killed by an obstacle, but rather that you want to avoiding killing them.
I killed a little girl with a balloon... It was an accident!
The graphics are lovely. The game mode was a lot better than the story mode, since that seemed to take ages to get started. It would have been nice with some audio, since you can definitely feel that it's missing.
Great endless runner story/concept, love the death animations, had to reset the game just to watch them all.

Nice pixel art and your animations are cutely good. You sure had focused on visual :) Too bad for the game. Around 400, nobody spawned so I could let the little guy running forever and ever without meeting anyone.
Good job anyway :)
(oh, I was sure your graphic style felt familiar, I remember you from Limit. No wonder the animations are so great)
It bugged out on me as well, but I watched the video.
Gameplay: fine for what it is, but I feel like better hitboxes/more refined controls are in order to make it properly fun.
Story: that is really excellent use of gameplay/story integration! it gets a bit clunky waiting for the text to come up and then cycling through it slowly, but the way the story gives your actions varying context and goals that directly relate to the meaning of the mechanic is handled really well. Excellent job! I just wish it ran p_p
I liked the concept and art a lot but i got the "nothing to do here" bug very early on both modes unfortunately - please fix that after the judging ends, i'd like to give this one another try in a more complete form
Nice and cute graphics, would have been nice with some audio. Story mode had way too many "Press Space or Enter" moments but other than that it was good.
Love the Dean sprite! Very cute and well-animated :D The graphics set a nice mood but having to press Enter almost felt like pausing/interrupting the game. Great job!
I liked the game. Some details could be added, like a font type in text skip ("Press Space or Enter") similar of a menu font type. But, in Overall it's a great game, i love the art style.
Awesome graphics! I was able to play game mode just fine but story mode had no enemies in it. Would love to hear some audio as well. Great job on making an interesting world. Thanks for sharing!
The sappiness and cuteness of this game overwhelmed me! I couldn't handle it! Beautiful pattern and artwork! The story was a bit cliche but it got interesting. Especially near the end!
I got stuck after I was told to kill 100 old men, do I really have to do that? I ended up just watching the vid :P
Needed some sort of audio, but the story and art felt more than enough for me.
Sad story, but great mood and i realy like the art style. Controls seem fine to me, but after several second, the number of people to not touch drop a lot, until a point where ther is no challenge, and no fun at all ... This entry is realy great i think
Really beautiful graphics. I think the story mode might be bugged though: after the intro I came across one person, then absolutely no-one else (left it running for a good few minutes). Game mode seems to work fine.
The game is a bit classic in the gameplay but the controls responds well and it's quite challenging on some obstacles. But I can't figure out why old ladies want to kill you... It's a bit strange :) I think the game is not finished surely because you focused so much on the graphics and the animation (superb) that you forget the core gameplay.
5* on graphics! I love those animations. Also some of the deaths are funny xD Well, enemies stopped spawning for me too :/ The story mode has this bug too, wich makes it anoying :P
At a certain point no more enemies appeared in story mode. I tried game mode and it's a cool idea. Amazing art btw, the bugs are expected and can be fixed but what's there at the moment is amazing ;).
Loved your art, imo you could make things a bit more difficult overtime, like spawning more of those ballon guys. After a while (around 600 points i think) the game just became empty =O( nice work tho =OD
NIce artwork, but story mode seemed to bug out on me. Gameplay seemed to be along the lines of "avoid the enemies", was that right? Seems like there's something really solid here though.

Neat concept. I quit after about 600 points because it seemed like nothing was happening and it was stuck in a loop.
Graphics are so cute ! I really like your design style :) The story is interesting but there is no obvious relationship with the theme. I did 828 but i've got a long run without any obstacles.
I love the story, starts off fun then gets sad, then gets really evil and then sad again. Ran into a bug where the enemies stopped appearing and then nothing happened. Great Job!!!
Really cool concept. I wish there was a way to heal your character, like in the story mode. Maybe have a pet dog that will appear every once in a while that you need to survive, but could kill off if you get too close.

Very "cutiful" graphics and nice story. Unfortunately, too few people showed up when I had to collect the souls, so i didn't sit through it. But still, awesome job.
Lovable visual aesthetics and a pretty decent game to play. Won't complain since you had a limited time to make this and still it came out pretty well if you ask me.
Wow... that's a heartbreaker. Very original set-up, and as for the graphics: this is the first game in this compo I've given a solid 5-star ranking for graphics. I particularly love the balloon girl, and how the balloon bursts when Dean... does his thing.
Unfortunately, I can't give this game a very high Overall score, since it seems to be unfinished: Story Mode has no other sprites, and Game Mode just runs out of sprites after a while.
I really hope you keep developing this game after the compo. The graphics and mood in this piece are amazing.
Graphics are the star of the show here. Beautiful - you have an awesome talent of which I'm very jealous! Please add some audio to this post-compo - it's a crime not to. Wasn't sure of the connection with the theme - but I'm probably missing something.
Lovely animations and a pretty cool story. I can't really play the game since "enemies" stop spawning after a while in both game modes, but judging from the video and my first few impressions it's really well done.
Beautiful art and animation. Gameplay's pretty simple, but that's okay.
I watched the video of your story mode, but it didn't match my gameplay. In both game and story mode, obstacles just stopped showing up after a little while and I could walk forever. FF 20, Linux.
Wow, top score on graphics. Lovely animation, and an entertaining story. Poor Dean. After 290 points I stopped encountering people btw. Would love to see more of this, with harder levels and perhaps new kinds of people. Once again, them animations were splendid!
The graphics are outstanding. The motivation that you kill people by touching them, but you don't want to is very cute, and coupled with the art style starts to tell a nice story. Great job!
Very cute graphics. The story mode did not work quite well for me (nothing to avoid?), so I played the game mode and it was pretty fun! Good entry overall :)

Also, at first, I thought enter/space was the only button and I was getting so confused! Helps to read I guess!
I ran out of enemies as well.
Those adorable animations are making up for it nicely :)

the pixel art is superb, in particular on the player and the choice of the limited palette.
very good entry.

Highscore in game mode: 606.
Unfortunately, it's buggy on my machine (Chromium, Ubuntu). During the story mode, it seems to get stuck and in game mode, they stop spawning.
Thanks for the video, I'm glad I got to watch the story to the end. :)
I got stuck after I was told to kill 100 old men, do I really have to do that? I ended up just watching the vid :P

Great work!
I'm in a infinite loop of streets with the same things...
Story mode is not working. After "he avoided as much as possible", nothing else happens. Game mode was a bit hard.
I liked the idea, hope you iron out the rest of the game :-)
Well, enemies stopped spawning for me too :/
The story mode has this bug too, wich makes it anoying :P
nice work tho =OD
My high score so far is 928.
