This was hilarious and really polished. Controls could have been slightly easier to handle (even though wonkiness was the point). Amazing voice-over work and a great interpretation of the episode. Well done!

That was an experience!

I love anti control games and this was hilarious.  I literally didn't get it at ALL until way late.  But hey, better late then Linda!

Great work!

This game was really fun to play; I loved the controls and the player movement. Even though I had trouble with the controls at first, they weren't too difficult to use. It was a great interpretation of that episode and made me feel as bad at that job as they were.

The only problem I really had was that the game didn't fit on the screen. I tried playing it both windowed 1280x720 and full screen 1900x600, but the game was outside the screen in both. It didn't affect gameplay, but I wasn't able to see certain things. Overall, great game!

The controls are pretty crazy, but in a good way! I like the intro and the sounds are animations are pretty great. I noticed the UI didn't quite fit on screen if I tried to play in windowed mode (I usually start games in windowed in case there is no exit option!). I do wish I could skip the intro for the times I wanted to go back and play again.

Great job, really unique game!

I love the set up. The gameplay and animation is funny. The game controls does need some getting use to, Linda is more of a contortionist in my hands than a chocolate wrapper! Good job :)

I think the mac osx version is broken, it does that. However the initial narration is amazing and the concept looks great too. And from the screenshots the graphics look pretty good too. I'm going to wait out and maybe rate this tomorrow, see if it's fixed :)
