Fun game, kid three was really quite hard.

The game is nice. The graphics make it a little hard to see the character, but overall, a nice game. :)

Very good. I like that the kid escaped one time. Very good balance. Not too easy, not to hard.

Fun game. I had difficulties with the last level. Is the "kid.iscaptured returns false" wanted ?

Funny enough, the third one was the easiest for me, after I finally learned the controls properly :P Cool game!

Liked it, had a hard time with the first level. I had the feeling that you shouldn't be too precise to catch the kid but just a little before him, right?

Nice, little game. Pretty hard, but it kept me playing till I beat it, so good job. You should try adding obstacles to the rooms.

I liked that you made it so easy to re-try the levels, instead of having a game-over and having to beat each one in sequence. It made it much easier on me, since I had to rely on luck to catch the kids! :)

Very cool idea, but it was super hard to catch the kid (and collisions were frustrating). Would have loved to see a more gradual learning curve. Loved the mood!

Cool game - was fun running and dashing around, but wow was that kid slippery!

Crowbeak29 Aug 2015, 07:46

Neat game idea from the theme. It feels like a game that wouldn't really work with other themes.

I couldn't catch the kid once! I am able to dash to where he is and grab him but it doesn't seem to stick. I tried and tried!

Fun game! It was tough catching the kid. I relied on just luck to catch him, mostly because of his movements were so erratic. The music was nice, but that one sound effect at the beginning of the level was a bit piercing. It kinda fit at the same time, though.

Very nice little game.

I found it very hard to catch that damn kid. Presentation of menu's was very well presented

Really fun! Kind of difficult but it's an awesome concept. Nice job!!

Fun little game. Well done! I found a non breaking bug after completing lvl 2 before level 1. Level one's text said that I received xxx for completing the lvl, level 2's text said I that I will get xxx.

Cool, simple idea. You could make more levels by introducing obstacles and things, or stuff that could be knocked over to increase the noise.

I swear that kid is made out of butter.

I'm not exactly sure how to catch the kid... I did it a couple times on accident, but it seems like I couldn't quite grab him other times.
