So... I was struggling for ideas at the beginning of the compo.

"You only get one lover.... lols"

That was my attempt to be all indie or whatever. A unique idea with deep meaning?

I bounced the idea off a friend and he came up with: "Hmm ok how about there's a love meter that's basically like a timer and the missions are like little tasks you are carrying out to keep her in love with you... If the meter runs out she leaves you..."

Okay, I tried that... but that's WEIRD!!!! Right??? Too weird, I'm not ready for that. So anyways... My game took a different direction and now you're a guy who's running away from a girl that's in love with you or at least she'll make you fall in love with her. Then it's game over. :P

I'm just glad I got an entry though and I didn't give up half way through like I almost did.

Haha! I like the tears! Should probably have a restart button :) Looks like marriage is inevitable :)

Hehe I knew someone would have made a game about "one" love! :p

This game controls really well, and could have been really cool if there was some terrain that was difficult to navigate, while the girl was perfect at it.

Nice graphics! level's a bit short though

I really dig the art style although I'd loved to see some animations.
It is very short and you seemingly can't "win". A longer level, faster girl, maybe some obstacles, a "win screen" and some music and it could be a really fun game!

Haha, I like how we took the theme in completely opposite directions. The game over screen is hilarious.

Really funny ending. I'd love to see a not-so-happy "You win" screen if you manage to outrun her ;-)

This game is weird indeed. Like the idea of it. But I really miss some animations, sounds, and a restart button. And at some point that npc that follows me got stuck in a block, and I reached the end of the level I think? Not sure whether there should have happend something?

Loved the game over screen. Animations would have been good

Loved the fact that it was a guy being chased by the girl. also the bit at the end where there is no escape. Loved it. The Tears were a great touch as well.

Nice idea, but the other one sounds good too. I think there are some things missing. There seems to be no way to win it and there is no audio. And maybe multiple levels.

Haha, cute little game. The ending was nice, and it was fun to try my best to run away. Is there any way to avoid that ending? I almost felt like it was inevitable. :P I wonder if that's the life lesson in this game.
