Good:
What a weird (in a good way) world ;)

Not good:
The window size is bigger than my desktop.
Also, in the later screen this gets really sluggish.

The best:
I loved the dolphins with the laser guns strapped on top.

Not what would be my first choice for controls, but it's possible to get used to it.

My wife and I both enjoyed playing this. It was a bit like playing a Monty Python game, ie, surreal. But it was fun, and that's what counts.

We liked the messages.

Went fine until there was two of the weird folks with leek, there things went so slow so it seemed I couldn't swim at a speed quick enough to get past it. Which seems rather rediculous. Anyway, was a good ride until that.

The narwhal does indeed bacon at midnight!

I found this game rather hilarious. The narwhal and the messages worked great. Gameplay is alright, but would need more variation if it was to be used in a longer game.

I had a wonderful time playing this! :)

You sure know how to title a game! And the music is very nice! But, I dunno, the whole idea of the game seems to be struggling with the controls, which I didn't think made for a very fun game.

lol!

And I can see what you were going for on the controls, there's probably a more intuitive way to do it. This setup kind of hurt my fingers actually.

I'm sorry to say I didnt really enjoy playing this, which is a shame as I was looking forward to it.

the screen size is a bit big for my monitor so I had to keep moving the window side to side to see what I was doing, and with each screen I moved on to the frame rate seemed to drop significantly, eventually going to low I could barely tell how fast I was going, and ended up dead and back at the start.
maybe its just this pc, but sadly I couldnt get past these issues to find the game underneath :(

Too 4chan for my tastes.

I played this more times then is clearly healthy given the punitive cost of having to restart all the way back after 3 deaths. The bizarre "story" definitely kept me wondering where the heck this surreal adventure would lead. In the end I only made it as far as the 2 spinning broom girls. I was defeated and tried a bunch more but never made it back there before my patience finally waned. Nice style and background music. The odd physics of the narwhal started to grow on my after a little bit too.

fuck yeah!

(but seriously...aside from the technical problems everyone else is mentioning, just referencing 4chan memes isn't really funny or interesting in and of itself)

That was... bizarre. Control and rendering was a little sluggish.

This seems like it could have been cute, but I found the controlls *extremely* awkward. I seemed to move at different speeds depending on which direction I was facing; it was hard to move forward at all.
