General Commentary and Game Overview
THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE! The level design is a bit flawed, but the story is amazing, the levels aren't repetitive (at least no more than a regular Mario game. Maybe even a bit less), and the boss fights are great. This game might even be in my top 3 favorite fangames. Top 5 at LEAST.

The game takes nearly everything good you find in joke games, and combines it with a great story, a normal game's polish, and none of the bad things you find in joke games. Well, I suppose that depends on what you like about joke games, but in my opinion this was balanced perfectly.

The levels might be a bit flawed in some aspects (such as a lot of blind jumps/falls), but the game rewards you by giving you a story with funny dialogue, great pacing, and keeps giving you wider and wider vision of the plot at hand.
 
Pros - Great combination of joke and serious gameplay
- VERY neat graphics
- Enemies don't respawn once you kill them
- Excellent story
- Funny dialogue
- Few, but good enemies
- Good physics
- It gave me a free joke that I swear on my non-existent aunt's nephew's niece I will use!
 
Cons - No full-screen
- Running is pretty slow
- The final boss fight is too hard (but it's worth it for the ending)
- Sometimes when a great song plays the level is too short.
- Blind jumps
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
The gameplay is admittedly what you expect from a joke game. It's got the joke-game feel to the physics, level-design, and enemies. There really isn't much else to say about it. It's good gameplay, but I would like to run faster. The levels have some cool gimmicks to them, so it's not too repetitive.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
Pretty much the same as the gameplay. It's got joke game written all over it, but the graphics are actually very well put together. And throughout the game you keep seeing digital locks, which give the game a recurring them of nighttime. Or rather really early morning. If you like joke game graphics, you'll like this.
 
Sound
7 / 10
There's not many sounds in this game, which isn't a bad thing. They are put where they're needed, and not over-crowding like most joke-games. The sounds that exist are good, and the game is filled with great music. My score is lowered a bit, because actually, not not all of the music is that great.
 
Replay
6 / 10
See, as good as the game is I felt the only reason I would want to play again is to find some secrets I saw but didn't feel motivated to grab. And I don't think it's worth playing through again just for some laughs.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
Great story + Nice graphics + Time + Motivation = This game. Play it. Now!
