The self referential humor of the the two protagonists is great!
Best time was 08:41, a speed runner I am not, but I had a good time with this one.
Feeling of the moment when summoning the imp kept its joy until the end of the game, nice execution! Also how imp works is designed pretty smart, makes you look at the level from another perspective and small time pressure with distorting visuals boosts the experience as well. Dialogues are pretty funny and.. TODO: Finish the comment
Wasn't getting any sound first time I played it so dipped back in for a second go after seeing all the comments, and it was well worth it!
