I liked that the protagonists of Reach and Down the Eye of the Tiger were in the game. Nice game :D

Just finished this, and it was a wonderful experience, especially the art style and the music! I'm not sure if there being no quit button on the menu is a metaphor or not haha

I also think i found a little bug, because i frequently went through a section of wall in the area with the journalist effect. It was one of the walls on the right of the player, and i kept going into it by accident
 when using one of the speed effects

Cheers :)
