Wow, this is so cute! This platformer looks like a cheap Mario clone, but looks can be deceiving...give it a try, I dare you.

NOT INDICATED FOR CHILDREN OR THOSE OF A NERVOUS DISPOSITION!

Controls:
Z - Jump
X - Eversion (you can only everse on a few spots...keep an eye on the background)

This is great. Much better than trying to set up PureVideo HD.

BTW, the Lovecraft quote seems to be there for a reason. :O

I read about this on SA. Fun game, people are blowing the scariness wayyyy out of proportion over there though.

Ok, it's a decent, if slightly uninspired platformer, but what the hell is with the "OMG THIS GAME = mindfuck" crap. SA kiddies wouldn't know a real mindfuck if it pissed in their shoes.

No kidding. Anyone saying that the game wasn't really a mindfuck got shouted down, goon rage style.

Alright, the piece of shit CRASHED on me on the second half of stage eight (I had nearly made it to the end already but unexpectedly got hit by a hand on my way to the flag).

That on top of getting stuck at the beginning of the second half of that level after making it through the first half in only 10 minutes (protip: stand on something that you know will keep your wait during changes, during that stage of the level there's only one type of block you'll want to run out on, so you can headbutt it - it's the "neutral" color with the enemies sitting still). An hour later the game crashes...of course.

So Youtube filled me in on what happens.

What a waste of goddamn time.
(i raged)

Pretty quick to finish the game even with the shit movement (not falling through holes in the floor easily is both good and bad...but in the last level, mostly bad).

While we're on the subject of "games that think they're gonna fuck with you hardcore," Paranoia:

HL mod, which means it's not 2D. Lots of STALKER inspiration in there. be careful of crashes in that one too.

Just played this today. I think it's a cute shallow game that doesn't drag on too long.

Level 8 is poopy and doesn't work well (especially with the pit of infinite stuck), true.

The ending's adorable.

Replayability is nascent of course. Cruel neverending difficulty or a game that builds itself is the only way to get that out of a game, which this has and is neither.

I made it to the end, but I still need to collect all of the gems to continue, it seems.

I'll do it later.

Cute and creepy is a cool combo though.

I actually enjoyed the game, but I wasn't going to play level 8 again because I wasn't really getting anything out of it. I basically beat the game anyway so nyah :P~

I played this about a month ago. Good, simple fun, with a bit of nice scares and general freakiness.

Also, the "true" ending is so fantastic.
