That music is so upbeat. It just makes me happy to be walking along and delivering a parcel. Even when I get attacked by a dog.

I like the background music. I feel like the timer is a bit too generous.

Thank you, @the3rdhunter , @jsmitq! The music was a keygen song, from Abundant Music; converted to ogg format, which sounded *way* better than the original midi.

I agree about the countdown timer, although the timer doesn't even have a bearing on the player score. It was a feature I skipped due to rushing Sunday.

Love the sprites and the colors! Game is very chill and could be a bit more hectic. Still nice idea!

Nice game, the atmosphere feels very calm and peaceful even though you're on a timer. The music is lovely! Two notes:
- I think the camera movement should be the other way around; when moving you should see 2/3 of the screen in front of you.
- Having the player animation move his sprite back and forth while the actual player object moves forward makes his movements look a bit jittery.

@jakobthequizguy thanks for your detailed feedback. I wasted a lot of time failing at the golden ratio for the screen and, as you pointed out, that shows on screen.
