I LOVED this! I was laughing out loud the whole way because I've been telling my GF that "The Game" is a lie for weeks XD Guess we'll find out in a few days.

Loved the art style. Loved the audio. I liked how the format changed for the final level (path of pain). Great work. More people need to see this. 

thank u really much for your kind words
