The graphics all fit well together, the story's rather amusing; I like it. The spike collisions could be a bit more lenient. Other than that, I quite liked it.\r\rBy the way: When I play the web version, all that happens is the elderly man drops off the screen.

The final frontier. How to we change ourselves? How do we make ourselves better? How do we *evolve*?\r\rSince the dawn of time we have wrestled with these questions. We have found no answer, for the question itself is not a valid one.\r\rThe harsh reality is that we do not evolve. Or, at least, our physical body doesn't; our flesh starts its decay the moment we break free of the womb. The absoluteness of life is that we are all going to die, eventually.\r\rBut we still should not fret. What liberates us is our sapience. If there is one thing we can evolve, it is our mind; if there is one thing that is always increasing, it is our wisdom; if there is one that is endless, it is our knowledge.\r\rHence why our protagonist's quest is a fool's errand. Rather than try to regain youth - and as such, *devolve* his body - he probably should instead he keeps his mind sharp, and not go falling into holes in the goddamn lawn.\r\rVery linear, very challenging sometimes, controls were a bit hard. Overexplanation of what's going on feels like a cop-out and breaks the mood a bit. Beautiful washed out pixel art at times. Not sure I reached the end; tunnel was blocked by rocks. Performs better in Firefox than Chrome."},{"author_name":"pereubu","author_uid":"16143","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:27pm","epoch":1346080920,"text":"great ideas, i really loved the end too, the web version is still a bit buggy but the normal one works perfectly.\rAlso, ni art for something this minimal, really like it :D"},{"author_name":"pardue","author_uid":"15733","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 3:51pm","epoch":1346082360,"text":"The graphics were nice, however animations would of made the game even better.
