I really enjoyed making this game. It fit very well into my aim. Its written in Limericks, Tell me of any thing to fix, And I hope no one thinks that it's lame.
The platforming reminds me a bit of Nifflas' early stuff (Within a Deep Forest, for one). The controls can be a bit bugged - I was stuck with my character moving right constantly for the first few screens, which made it very challenging indeed!
Never before have I seen limericks used to tell a serious story, let alone within a game. Max points for innovation. Enabling fullscreen in the browser was a great way to add immersion.
Contrast between the character and the background is a bit too low, maybe it's my fault, trying to read the text at the same time I'm moving. But nice little jumping game. It gets pretty tricky.
I'm really fond of limericks and rhyming, so good job! Your game is a good jumping platformer although it doesn't have exceptionally interesting puzzles. In my opinion the mood that's created by the ominous sprites and darkness together with the existential questions of the limericks don't mix well with the jumping on platforms. You should work a bit on your composing, a better track could have improved the mood department. (The current track needs some improvement)
I think that existential questions and jumping on platforms don't go too well hand in hand. you might want to focus on one of them in your next games. (I hope it's the questions, you have quite the talent there)
