Runner is a free, independent, downloadable game made by Jonathan Holmes (sprite art), Ashley Davis (other art), and myself (design, programming). It was finished over the weekend (barring any huge bugs or problems), and is now available for download. You'll need Windows to play it, though.
You can get the game here (make sure to extract the RAR files into the same folder), and get the source code here if you inexplicably get the desire to clean up the code and make the game less of a ludicrous resource hog.
Please feel free to post any bug finds in the comments below, or by emailing me at reverendanthony [a t]gmail [d ot]com.
In about a week, I'll write up a postmortem/apology/explanation for the game. Until then, I'm going to try really hard to not comment on anything beyond bug reports or what have you.

:p
Playing it in like 2 more minutes....
CANT WAIT
I like it, but it gets pretty frustrating with the bubble getting in the way you run and you can't head back.
BUG report:
You can pass the "barriers" (not the door type things) though if you go to the far top right without getting hit.
Protip: Enter "lucbernard" at the title screen to unlock the main character from Eternity's Child.
Too lazy. Won't happen.
Also, if I don't respond to direct questions about the game's subject matter, it's not because I'm intentionally trying to be a dick. I just don't want to color anyone's perspectives on the game in any way.
ygro wok:
Apart from whatever fixes I'll be making this week to combat bugs you guys find, this is the final version of the game.
Also, good game Rev, good game.
ERROR in
action number 1
of Create Event
for object controller_loss:
Error defining an external function.
Do you have all the files from the rar in the same folder when you run the EXE?
why do I have to be at school right now?
If its open source, then does that mean its open for rape? Little Rev confirmed for MUGEN?
I understand the meaning behind blocking you from seeing the on coming obstructions, but when there is potential for a "there is no end, suck on that" situation, I loose motivation to carry on. It'll be interesting to see what the code turns up :)
I still love you though. And I liked the music.
Rape away.
I hope I actually finish the game before it becomes too frustrating.
Just asking.
A few clever parts, a few parts that feel clunky. I'll be interested in seeing your own opinion of what it all means.
On a side note:
Interesting how you gave the girls names. Also, dickbutt.
I don't think I'm going to rape the game though. It's tempting but...you've just earned some more respect. I'm really interested in reading the explanation to see if it matches with my thoughts. Even if it doesn't, I still got something personal out of it or at least it got me thinking about something that's of personal value. That's great.
Design decision or not, having speech bubbles directly obstruct your field of view of what you are playing on in order to offer an extremely unclear and visually "busy" story background isn't my idea of an enjoyable or "enlightening" (if the latter is what you were going for).
