Really liked the concept of nirvana and that you can not win the game by doing the given tasks. Smooth and overall polished. Great job!

Have skippable text, particularly in a game where time matters. Also, the gameplay was kind of tedious.

I would've been screwed without those hints.

Nice idea, gameplay was a little slow due to the cutsceney type stuff, but otherwise good fun :)

The concept is really nice, but I keep getting "glued" to the stairs and losing money because I'm not that fast.

Nice idea. I wanted to complete the game for the story XD found it really funny, but also the conclusion in the end is great.

Oh Gosh, if you'd know how I love these "deeper" games...

Good message. One thing you should change, is that the money doesn't get deducted on the first level. I can just imagine someone trying the game, being a little distracted and not paying attention, then suddenly seeing the win screen and thinking: Well that was pretty lame!

Pointless gameplay. Even for the simplest type of platformer possible, you didn't even get the physics right with the stairs. At least there was some story that was probably trying to be funny or to have a moral.

Really nice game. Probably highlighting the goal would make it easier to understand where to move, and making it possible to skip the text you already read will make it even better. Anyway, I like it.

omg, this game was really one of the best i've played so far. The gameplay was very good, the graphics were okay good, but the sounds could be better. I really liked the story, and came in good mood by playing it. The ending and the point of the hole game was amazing :D 10/10
