And I recorded my voice too this time. I can clearly imagine how he recorded his. It made me laugh so much.

The voice work really seals the deal! made me chuckle. I also like the idea of playing as the person who helps the protagonist rather than the hero.

Loved the old man grumbling sound, it cracks me up everytime I hear it. Also nice use of the theme and overall game

Har. Funny, plays rather well, is very short. Would be a lot of fun to see more of these "behind the scenes" games based on NPCs from famous titles. That could be a compo theme in itself, so many silly possibilities :)

Reminds me of those books you fill in the missing words for. Then when you read it through, it sound hilarious.

One bug, it doesn't accept the word "tedious". Though overall a cool mashup of platforming and madlibs.

Well it's kind of hard to excuse the terrible dictionary. I like what you did with the theme, and the old man's voice really made me laugh. The timer makes me feel pressured, like I'm going to lose if I don't hurry up, which isn't good. I do understand it's there for people who want to play through it quickly. It's not a bad game, but I can't shake the feeling that at the end of a day it's just a linear platform with a badly "dictionaried" word gimmick. Nice job on the transitions between the cave rooms and the platform segments.
