Hans thinks Cheerleader is pretty but he can't have her because she thinks he's ugly. Hans decides to make everyone look the same, thus cheerleader would no longer be pretty so Hans would no longer like Cheerleader.

Ok, so the message is: if you're ugly, there's no way you'll ever get the woman of your dreams. You can capture her using elaborate plans, but she'll still get away. At this point, you might as well kill yourself by jumping from someplace high. Your afterlife will be bleak, prison-like, and no one will talk to you even then, though.

Masterpiece. And I do love the feelings you've put in this game. I could almost feel like it's me who is actually trying to do his best through whole puberty thing once again.

This seriously got me, like, really got into my soul. Thank you for making this. This is something much bigger in a game form.

The level with the falling blocks = RAAAAAGE. Pretty decent game, and I get the point of the narrative, but... what was with that ending?

Thank you for not making this harder! I really enjoyed the story and just kept going to see what will happen without getting stuck into any unnecessarily difficult stage

I got a bug at the level where the blocks fall. One of them fell on my head but didn't kill me, trapping me, though. Had to leave and hit Continue.

A depressing journey of self discovery that ends in suicide. Then, eternally trapped in a drab dreamworld, our "protagonist" seems to be doomed to exist in a state more lonely than pixelation...invisibility.

Good game. Although, I expected him to hit the switch one more time to get emo attire, then write a poem, and THEN jump.. but oh well. It was fun.

This game is a degradation of a stereotypical American high school's social hierachy, where Hans is lower on the "social" ladder than the cheerleader. Hans, being on the bottom of said social ladder, is rejected constantly, and thus champions an egalitarian utopia (i.e. a world where everyone is the same). However, this utopia would lead to the cheerleader's loss of social status, which is key to her existence. Disenchanted, the cheerleader removes Hans' utopian existence. Hans has his ego crushed as a result and commits suicide. Any questions?
Whoa, great interpretation! The only thing I don't like about it is the suicide part, which can be seen to be wrong if you wait until after the credits. But other than that, I'm very impressed! Thanks for playing and writing!

So lets recap what i just learned. If i'm ugly, there's nothing i can do to ever change that, so i should "explore myself" and then jump off of a building? good morals. I learned a lot today.

So this is about a guy who falls in love, fails to impress her, starts thinking why, realizes it's because of his awful looks, then commits suicide by jumping off of a castle. In the end I thought he'd be with her in the afterlife, but I guess he's not attractive enough for even that.

You development blog says that in the end Hans realizes that he shouldn't take others criticism to heart, but in the game all it tells you is that if you are ugly you can't live in the utopia, that the utopia is just a place for the pretty and popular people. The ugly ones must suffer in the painful real world where in the end they still don't find love. While the game itself is good and innovative, altogether it sends a depressing, muddled message about life which players will no doubt misinterpret in the end.
The utopia is Hans's utopia. It's in his mind. He's trying to change the world, and discovers even if the world was just what we wanted it to be, it wouldn't work very well. He decides to grow up, and sadly, adapt to real life.

Great music, nice graphics, simple yet entertaining puzzles, and a touching story that i have a connection to. This is the sort of game deserving of awards and recognition.

This game is OK. I feel like all the people proclaiming it to be super amazing and great are kind of overstating the quality here. The mechanics are good, the puzzles are pretty simple, but require a bit of effort. The story is fine, but not amazing, nothing very revolutionary about a kid getting over the super hot girl and moving on with life. Battling yourself isn't unheard of in the gaming world either. Also the final battle of playing simon after caging yourself up was pretty weak I felt. All in all it was a decent game, but could be a lot more entertaining. Solid effort and I think this developer shows a lot of promise for future development, but let's calm down with the hyperbole on this one.
