At start: "Oh ok, a platformer, cool."
A minute or two later: "Oh ok, it's one of THOSE platformers."
Quite a few deaths and a slight amount of progress later: "Wow, these messages are a bit dark. Is.... is everything ok, Gippa?"
About 15 minutes in (what... I got stuck on a few parts..): "Where the hell am I, where am I going... is this the end?"
TL;DR That was actually pretty cool and surprising. Good work.
