Hurt my fingers pretty bad by the end because I kept wanting to punch the arrow keys one at a time to create interesting rhythms instead of holding down the arrows as would be easier (it is to be interpreted as a good thing that the game left me wanting to play this way). I had a little bit of trouble understanding the movement rules at very first because it was not immediately obvious the game DENIES FEMALE AGENCY.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure if I should have laughed at the &quot;twist&quot; midway through, but I totally did."},{"author_name":"bfod","author_uid":"7379","time":"Dec 19, 2011 @ 9:50am","epoch":1324287900,"text":"If only she had been more obedient... it could have been avoided."},{"author_name":"caranha","author_uid":"7847","time":"Dec 19, 2011 @ 10:38am","epoch":1324290780,"text":"Great Game!
