I don't think I have ever played a game that takes place in the closing credits. Very fun with some great puns.

Very nice! Thank you for the checkpoints... A possible winner for use of theme?

Looks good and fun to play. Kinda hard too, but good controls.

This is great! It's so fun to play.
If you had fixed Mr. Box's trembling it would have been perfect!

That was fun! The text in the beginning could've been a bit faster.

I just got upset and tried to stop a pink pixel from pushing the "forbidden button" BRAVO my friend, bravo!

Also loving the hidden humor in the falling credits, great game!

Amazing. Moderately difficult, but amazing. Excellent job sir. I had trouble with the "$19". The text was both an excellent motivator to keep reading and a fantastic distraction that made the game take 2x longer than it should have taken me.

I loved the idea. I liked the style, it was a bit hard to play but good job.

I think my network rate is very slow, loading time is very long.
And I need a Unity player. oh ...

Great LD entry. Platforming felt good and was difficult but not frustrating. Lasted just long enough without getting old.

Haha! Best credits sequence ever! Nice use of the theme.

Really nice! For a moment I thought it was another "artsy" game without any gameplay, but then I realised the credits were the game :D

Very nice music!

Reading the credits (or trying to) got me killed quite a few times. The background music was nice.

By far the best way to display game credits I have ever seen, really genius. Awesome game!

Nice one. Just long and tricky enough with a good mix of save points.

Cool atmosphere in the beginning, and nice graphics + music. Controls were also good.

I had plenty of fun, and died once because I was busy reading the text...

Great theme interpretation :)

Awesome game. At some points the jumps to platforms directly above you were really tricky, but not in a frustrating way. The credits were funny, but it was to make sense of them in the order they came out while still trying to not die. Solid graphics, good music and sound effects, tight controls, overall a pretty great game.

This is my favorite game of the compo so far! Gah those were checkpoints? whatever. Hard core mode right here. Also please tell me that little bouncing pixel was the baby, I can't take this kind of emotional stress with this little sleep....

I beat it! It was tricky for a while until I figured out how to jump off the ends of ledges! Nice music.

Great game, has both a nice feel to it and gameplay.

The introduction where awesome. Also so far this is the best hit on the theme I encountered, very good.
Too bad I am bad at platforming games and get frustrated by them fast. But it got me addicted for a few minutes anyway and I DID want to go further. But didn't got the end.

Is the story from the beginning continuing? If so, a video walkthrough would be nice to see it.

Very good game!

Really good idea with the credits thing :P
But I think this might be just too hard. I finished game just by exploiting a bug :P

The gameplay is really fun and I like that the game is complete.

I've found a bug though: When you die you can keep standing on the ground and as long as you don't move the blades don't kill you.

Fun game. A few explanations on what to do would have been grate.

This was a great use of the theme. I had a lot of fun trying to read the credits and hop up. Great job!

So there I am watching the intro, Mrs box pushes the End Game button and then the credits start to scroll. I thought I missed the game somewhere. I'm watching the credits scroll and then I saw this green thing and I instinctively jumped for it and that's when I realized the end credits was the game! HAHA! what an awesome idea and you nailed the theme :) I really did enjoy the piano, it really added to the experience.

Great intro, I though that was all the game but then it started!, fun game. Contratulations!.

Well.. that changed pace awful quick! I probably could have ended up beating it if this game didn't have so many credits. Loved the piano in the background.
Good job! Thanks!

If you died and then don't move, the blades don't hurt you! Had to use this exploit to see the ending. :-p

Very hard, very good! Would love to see more games from you!

I played it to the end, even though some jumps were very frustrating. This is a very complete game for your first LD entry. I also did like the story and how you established it with a beginning a middle and an end.

This was very cool. I loved the ah-hah! moment when I first realized that I was supposed to climb the credits. Plus, I'm a fan of puns.

Loved it. Took me a while to figure out what was going on, but once I realized it I was like woooooooooooooahhhhh!

Cute idea. Sneaky way to keep a survival platformer on one screen. :) I kept dying because I was trying to read the sentences backwards lol. I had fun though.

The audio is impressive! Gameplay is hilarious in that it takes place in the credits... And I died a lot... LOL
