D: I love the art style, comic book style graphics are always a win for me :D Clever level design as well.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I found a minor bug where if you swap worlds to quickly the audio cuts out.

Don't have time to dig in for very long as there's clearly a lot of walking and figuring out to do in there, but I'm impressed with the amount of gameplay you prepped in 48 hours!
