    Thinking of finishing it tomorrow anyway.
    It's really just the mechanical stuff left. I actually did all 4.5 minutes of solid lipsync, so there's really no reason to waste it.

    yeah, I can't do it. and if you don't catch him right away you're fucked because as his lead increases so does the amount of time you have to mash buttons and dodge obstacles to catch up.

    Ten, your game reminds of me of The Impossible Game on Xbox Indie games.

    Except apparently yours is possible. Either way I'm having fun with it.

    with silly little flash things it's generally best to err on the side of leniency

    This is exactly why my game against Marshmallow didn't have a failure state. That decision drove the design choices (rip off an existing game with no failure state)

    Technically this game doesn't have a failure state either. Instead it allows you to become impossibly behind, without hope of catching up. Therein lies the problem.

    hit both keys at the same time really fast and just make sure to jump/slide and you can catch him. I got him at 9.3

    e- although maybe it's my work computer that is terrible and requires me to hit both keys at the same time :(
