Charming game! Even though it’s a fairly straightforward platformer, jumping on paragraphs to move words around is a clever concept that I haven’t seen before. Good storytelling.

Very unique take on the them. Love the art and music, well done!
Love the concept of both game design and folklore behind those "mysterious" typos! Wish he didn't skid around so much :}
I have no words. This was the most fun game I've played so far.
Lovely cutscenes and story, your voice is very charming
The complete lack of challenge is a let down though.
In the end, a fun experience, it was the first game that made me laugh here at LD.
P.S.: You really should consider being an animator or an voice actor, it would be interesting to see your scene direction and/or voice with the collaboration of some Ludumdarians who made interesting gameplay mechanics but completely lacked of charisma and overall game feel.
that is a great entry! i will tell this story to my kids one day :)
really like the intro. Really funny and the background really plays well into the game itself. Graphics leave a little to be desired.
You had me laughing throughout the game and I absolutely loved loved LOVED the music!
Perfect!
(your art was hilarious :))
Graphics have a cool "children's storybook" quality to them. Gameplay is a little flat, but this is a good storytelling game with interesting humor.
Soundtrack is fantastic, thanks for posting a download link. Great stuff!
Honestly, I love everything about this. The actual platforming could use some tightening/polish, but the concept is great and the game is hilarious. Great job!
Funny and sad at the same time, very lovely! Wish you did some extra polish on graphics!
P.S. Put this on Twitter :-)
Very, very cute game
Haha, I realy like this one, especially the idea of using a story. The playing part is a bit to easy, but the story part is kept me going trough the whole game.
The storytelling, hand drawn images and sound effects/music were great. :-)
Funny story, love the narration! I included it in part 19 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/bouSnGLQUcs
wooooow! that's crazy! i love it! really creative! you have such a hard work with words there! good job
it was a cute little story too. the dubbing was also great!
Wonderfully charming game! Great storytelling, the best for me so far. Loved the audio :) Graphics were simple but functional.
The idea of swapping words as a mechanic was very original but under-used as gameplay. Would love to see this idea expanded with more challenge.
Great work!
I loved the idea, the flow and the music. really fun to play! :D
I would have liked it if the mechanism for the word swapping was more engaging, where you actually had to read and understand the sentence and not just trying to control the imp.
Fantastic game. Love the music and narration. Very innovative and creative use of theme. Obviously, no challenge, but this game is not about challenge - it's about story. Very nice!
P.S. Thanks for playing my game and yes, I really did make the music for the game.
Very nice story. the platforming could use some polish, but it's a very nice story.
