Honest thoughts after a week of playing

Runner game. The character has very short legs. The trick is: his legs are so short he looks slow, but his actual speed isn’t bad—he just looks incredibly busy. I spent the first thirty seconds just watching his running animation and laughing. He runs like someone rushing to a bathroom but trying not to look like they’re rushing. Then, because I was too busy laughing, I hit the first obstacle. The death animation is also hilarious—he doesn’t disappear, he just wobbles and flops softly. I laughed again. Then hit the next obstacle. This loop continued for about ten minutes.
