I love the concept for this

I love the concept for this game. And it was really cool to see how it evolved over just 2 days of jammin'. Did you guys think about critical game design while you were making this? I feel like this has some interesting connections to it.

Regardless of if I'm writing

Regardless of if I'm writing a story or making a game or anything, I always try to incorporate some degree of meta-humor/meta-thinking/critical play, so there were elements of critical game design going into it, be it just me or my teammates as well.

Nice use of story

The game was fun to play, and I liked the way the story wove together the different platforming levels. Really like the ending, too.
