Kevin was really being serious of crashing the game when I die too many times. Sadly, I need to restart the game all over again and that is a serious no-no in this game. However, I played the game for the second time and I able to finish it until the end. Pros - Funny - Cool game mechanics (easy to learn too) - Story based platformer - Interesting music choices - Skippable conversation - Free Cons - Game crashes (only once) - Inaccessible saving feature (It is in the Option menu but you can't click 'Esc' or any buttons to access the Option menu during gameplay) - Short I look forward to the continuation of this game.

This game seems like it could be really fun and entertaining as a series of short chapters or as a whole larger game, but unfortunately for me it is basically unplayable due to the frequent random crashes that stop me from getting past level 4 or 5. Despite this I still recommend it as I know these issues will eventually be fixed (hopefully) and I do think judging from the little I've played it that it could be quite fun. Overall, you should give it a try and hope it works well enough to actually get through the game. If not, you still might find what you can play enjoyable, so since it's free I'd say why not give it a try:P.

Great game to kill some time. I am definetly going to be waiting for the next part. Gameplay is cool and you really can get attached to kevin. Great game.

A fine ten minutes or so spent getting to grips with the game mechanics, the humour and style of the game. The nearest game I've played would be "Thomas was alone" but this seems more personality (of your square character) rather than a story with personality, but the whole thing might be different. Quite fun, looks and sounds nice.

Meh.. The game is good, i like the gameplay, music, the concept and everything except for the fact that it crashes after 3-7 levels every time... Which gets slightly annoying. But except for that i would recommend the game
