I don't really know what this is, I had no ideas and this is a result of that.

For best results, please play with sound on!

This is pretty clever, brilliant intro! :)

Despite the only "themed" portion is an over glorified intro, I found it very entertaining. The platformer is really good too so it was worth sitting through!

I love the platforming section, the character is cute and I like the colour palette you've chosen

It says I am missing msvcp110.dll and couldn't open the game. I downloaded visual c++ redist and still has the problem. What is the requirement?

If you are getting an error about msvcp110.dll, you need to install this: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
Hopefully that helps!

Doesn't work on my PC. :( (WinXP 32Bit)
After gamepoppers comment I really wanted to see that intro...

Hey ShellfishGames, what stops it from running? If it is the same issue that theholychicken had, then see my reply above.

I simply get an error message that sais the exe is not a valid windows executable. :/ I already downloaded and installed the VC++ thing you mentioned, but to no effect.

Same issue here unfortunately, also on XP.

I just tried it on my laptop (vista) and it finally worked. And what can I say - very well done! Great atmosphere, unsettling yet kind of funny lines, a few surprises here and there. Not a lot of actual gameplay but a cool experience nevertheless. :)

Interesting game.

Too much time is spent waiting.

The intro is fun, but far too long ;)
Otherwise it's a cool little platformer :)

Thanks for the reviews.
I'm afraid I'm not sure why it says it's not a valid executable, I'm using Windows 8 so it might just be a case of XP being too old to work with the newest development tools. It's a shame, but I'm afraid I don't have an XP machine I can test and/or build on.

I really liked this! So creepy and disorienting. And the ending is brilliantly weird.

Hah, nice one ashdnazg. Quite honestly, I'm not entirely sure what I made, so I'm afraid I can't tell you what you just played. :D

Thank you all for your comments so far.

Very nice mood! I get some of that vindictive AI feel from it, and I like the font and colors that you used.
