I’m in the opposite boat to you: I hadn’t heard of Boris’s “moonshot” until this game! (You sure you’re not doing guerrilla advertising for the UK government?)
The Boris sprite is fantastic, and the aims are straightforward. The controls are very sluggish, which detracted from the fun a bit. (Also, are you meant to be able to climb ladders? I couldn’t seem to.) I also would’ve liked a bit more of an indication of where the level ends, so I could stop leaving accidentally!
