In the browser, this game was hard to control. I am going to download it later, it was just nearly impossible to play in the browser

Thank you for your comment. You're right, the browser version doesn't work very well...

Really interesting game with a very nice concept. I would suggest other inputs: Move the crumb along the keyboard by using your keyboard, i.e. if you press a valid adjacent key (regarding your position) the crumb moves to that key. All in all a very pretty game, which fits the theme very well. I like it :)

Yeah, thank you. This is one of the ideas that we were thinking about. We think it's a very interesting mechanic. Thank you for the feedback :)

argh I kept getting squished even though I visibly moved away before the finger landed :(
It's a shame it's so hard to play, the idea is really fun and I wanted to see more of the story...
re @elektropapst's idea, I think it's interesting but in practice there's probably too much difference between keyboards for it to work? Which is a shame.

Very hard but cool game with nice music. Do you know keyboard sports? That control scheme would have
worked very well here:

Voxels? 8-bit soundtrack? Enlarging perspective on an everyday piece of our modern world? It's like you took all of my favourite indie game stuff and put it in one entry! Congrats!
I found the idea that to a crumb bread is their god very funny, and could see this working with a bit of a balance pass to be more forgiving as a sort of comedy Frogger / Crossy Road type game
