This game is refreshingly simple, and dangerously addictive once you play it a few times. I’m a sucker for pixel art, so I really appreciate the graphics.

The real mystery about the game is its subtext. What is the protagonist running from, anyway? How does he manage to run so fast and jump so high? My personal theory is that he stole a pair of performance-enhancing shoes.
