It is evident from your write up that my goals with this game can be discerned by the player. The fact that you're picking up on the narrative thrills me. And seriously. Circus Atari? Way underrated. Thanks for the kind words! -Alex Neuse Jenn Frank, feel free to drop me a line if ever the mood strikes you.

Sometimes, I wish the VC would have mandatory demos. Or, how about letting people buy things at cost, like on PSN. The 'Pong Graphics near death' sounds like the Sonic 'drowning music' to me. God, that used to terrify me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TOkKttTkpo Here's a neat review of the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9B99_wI_j0 I can't help but feel like this would be a lot of fun for iPhone commuters.

It is positively mesmerizing. I find after I play it, I have to rest my eyes for ten minutes as I can't stare at a static image any more. Definitely very well done.

The whole stark black and white when you're near death, and your sound is now just intermittent beeps on the wiimote, sounding vaguely like the sounds of a heart monitor (at least to me), it just fits that mood. It's a very evocative game. I also really want a soundtrack! I agree with a great deal of what you thought about the game.
