Love the slow motion, and sound effects that play when you hit something! However You can cheese it a bit by staying inside the Twinki.

I think this is a fun twist on the endless runner genre, particularly how you have two levels of control (location + shield direction) in protecting Trinki. I agree that the slow motion when Trinki is in danger adds to the excitement (and helps me save my - or Trinki's - butt).

I don't think I was able to get the bash to work. Is that something I unlock later?

The concept is definitely novel but the art is spot on too! The characters, background and UI all go together very well.

Very fun. Slowdown is the best part. Unless you overlap with the runner, in which case game becomes quite slow.

Definitely cheesed a bit by staying right over the square you were supposed to protect. Didnt realize until later that the stars were powerups but the slowdown mechanic was very nice. Fun to play!

Loved the slow-motion and the little tombstones that appears to cheese you on your next run! The simple yet effective artwork and sounds fits the game perfectly. Would play definitely see this getting played on mobile!

The bullet time slow motion was awesome! I found it tough to manage the mouse and WASD! The star power-up was cool too, it felt really powerful. I didn't know what hardmode did, but I kept using it, and it was hard. I wish I could move a bit faster. I always felt like I can't make it across the screen fast enough. The art was cool! All the characters were cute and on theme.

Slo-mo was a hit! Very straightforward game, but it can get hard quick. Loved it!

Wow actually really nice control behaviour. And the slowmotion is great. I thought by the art style that it would be just "funny" but im suprised, it makes a lot of fun :D

Really great job. I'm really lazy when it comes to reading how games play so I found the way this game teaches you to play and text is really straight forward and easy to digest. The slow motion is fantastic and add suspense and a bit pf drama to the play! The style made me thik this was going to just be a silly game but I actually really enjoyed myself playing 5*s :D

It's really fun game to play! With the help of simple but interesting gameplay elements, I actually enjoyed protecting Trinki! Also, the music is spot on, really adds to the feel!

This is an amazingly fun game to play! I love the main title screen is actually the game, I like how tips and instructions are placed on the background for an easy read and learning experience, and I especially love the gravestones that mark your previous death in the next run! The slowdown was also pretty cool!

It's a simple and fun game! Great work!
