The intro sequence is way to slow! I like the idea, but the game is also extremely short! A bit more puzzles would have been better, but it's ok! :D I like it!

Yes, the intro sequence is very slow. The gameplay is also very simple and quite buggy. Nice simple retro graphics though.

I quit during the intro because I thought the controls were broken. Then I saw the comments here and tried again. It wasn't really challenging. The graphics were neat though. I liked the space needle. :)

Sweet, but a few too many leaps of faith. Music would have been nice. As others have mentioned, nice graphics.

I like how you approached the graphics, and it was an admirable shot from someone who says that graphics and animation aren't his forte. Nice job on that count.

I agree with the others though, that the cutscenes are too slow. Also, the weird wall jumping mechanic wasn't very intuitive, and there seemed to be a lot of "leaps of faith" where you had to jump without knowing what's under you, which didn't work so well for me (I never died, but felt frustrated that things were hidden in that way).

Congratulations! It's the only one I have been able to play in a Linux Non-Flash Icecat system by now. It truly is too short but I'd been very happy being able to play it.

I liked the part where they had sex.

It's a "meh" game. A really basic platformer, without something innovative. The good thing I saw as the graphics, but that's because I love lo-fi pixel art. Also, I'm intrigued about the story: the guy breaks up with a brunette and starts dating a blonde?
