Jon Blow is a bit of a douche, and the story elements of this game are pretentious as fuck, but I still do love this game.

The art is great, the music is great, the puzzles are extremely well designed and unique, and the secrets are neat albeit incredibly obnoxious to find. While the secret "le atomic bomb metaphor" twist is dumb, the actual ending sequence is still cool to me, if only because of its visual storytelling through a gameplay mechanic.

Also it's still really weird to think that Jon Blow of all people put a speedrun mode in his first game.

Can you explain that first line to me Marjar? Because I've heard this consistently about Blow, but only found one quote of his that contributed to that perception (which I highlighted in my review haha: https://backloggd.com/u/RedBackLoggd/review/1622275/).

I don't remember anything off the top of my head specifically, I just remember he always came off as a bit of a know-it-all and took himself way too seriously.
