In my opinion, the end sentence falls victim to show don't tell. I didn't feel as if there was a machine in the earlier levels, as there was no real activity occurring other than that of the player character. It begins with the start of the rebellion. This could possibly be remedied by giving the player some kind of opening sequence where he is actually part of the machine(though that might be kind of boring), or an epilogue sequence where the aftermath of the machine's destruction is shown. The game states that the player "destroyed the old for an imaginary new", but I, personally, did not see any old to destroy. To clarify, I did like the overall theme of the game, I just think that more atmosphere could serve to clarify it and drive the point home. In addition, I liked the art style quite a bit(pixel art FTW), and the platforms were much smoother and better done than those of most other stencyl platformer games(I can see that you took measures to go beyond the basic engine).
Wow, that was nice to read, I'm thankful you went to the trouble to give such an in-depth review! Yeah, I agree on a lot of the parts regarding story and clarification, etc. I'm still learning to make these games and don't have a whole lot of time to work on them, but I'll think about what you said. Thanks!

Despite your schizophrenic inclinations, I must admit I had a good - and, unfortunately, short - time playing this game of yours. Even though we easily catch it's simplicity, we also realize you had a enjoyed making it, and this makes all difference. Keep studying, practising, showing out your games and I'll be gladly back here, ready to play it. Gratz.

Not bad little game. A bit short, but it does have some difficulty to it. The storyline was pretty good. Keep up the good work. :)
Thanks!
