I really loved the intro, as the player was just about as confused as the player character, and the poetry\/rhyming added a comedic, interesting, and novel element to what would've been an otherwise fairly bland setup. I would love to see some explanation of what to do once you got to the afterlife(?) so I could continue the game, since I was pretty hooked by the intro and mysterious factor. If you can add some cohesion, I think it would add alot to the overrall appeal of the game.

I could sense the emotion (I guess) that was present throughout, and made me push through the whole game.  I wouldn't say the \"fun\" factor was very high though... I think the one I had the most fun with was the 3rd part.  The second part was just frustrating, and the first part was super confusing but I eventually got there.  But yeah, nice work, lots of different stuff here and all implemented pretty well, and the homage was moving for sure.

With this method, you should beat the level with approximately 0.5 seconds left on the timer. If you can't, just die 20 times and get 5 extra seconds.
