The slowest runner ever: an meditative runner with an painterly style set in 13th Century Japan. Use the arrow keys or the buttons on the right to select the next move.

Good attempt on the audio, but it’s tough. The controls are so smooth and slow - slow Dao’d, but the audio pulled me out of the meditative game play. I loved the art work of the character moving and jumping. really nice. thank you!

Really cool effects, I’d be interested to see how you did it. I thought choosing the moves was pretty fun, especially when like rolling off the top of a hill. My favorite part was climbing a dog and stepping on a child.
\nThe audio is bad. I also wish there was maybe a bit more to do? Like some pickups or powerups? And I wasn’t always sure how to increase my style/speed rating.
\nStill, I quite liked it (with the volume down), and the artistic style is top notch!

\nSlowing down time at moments is always interesting, but a complete slow motion game becomes “heavy” after a while. It’s also one of those games to which a toggle for music / sound effects would be super welcome.
\nThe graphics are outstanding!

The music was hard to listen. The gameplay is nice, no rush, just see how runner is running, relaxing experience(without sound).
\nDid not understand how style value works.

Imitating ink brush painting was a great idea.\nThe gameplay is quite relaxing.\nThe only caveat would be the audio (that ping can be a little bit distracting).

I like how they flow into view as you progress… the game itself was terribly slow though, and I had no idea if anything I pressed really made a difference. Not something to play during the afternoon slump as I did start falling asleep a little to the repetitive sound through the game haha. Nice work on the animations as well, and fitting everything in!

\nAlthough the description of the game states that this is an application for 2024, well … will wait :D.
\nCongratulations!

I was impressed with the visuals form the start - but when the right hand pop up’s came in I was blown away. A beautiful visual adventure.
\nIt is also interesting to see a slow runner in comparison to the many fast runners we see today.
\nI enjoyed playing this game!

Feels really satisfying to chain moves together. I expected once I finished a level that the camera pulling back was about to show my run at full-speed. That might be a nice feature to add! Even though “slowed” is in the title I did find myself wishing it moved a little faster. Very interesting mechanics though, and great work on the execution!
