It is short but funny, catchy and stuffed with references. Simple, with a linear plot, but with some humour and...Mentula Minor just made me laugh out loud; it's latin for "lesser d**k"

That was probably the best text adventure I've played yet! I love how when I won, it played that catchy little techno tune...

This was very fun! I liked that you could simply retry when you ran into a Game Over rather than restarting every time. Also nice touch including the link to TVtropes, great way to look up the references!

My only complaints are that the GAME OVERs from examining items seemed kind of cheap, and that "I'm" was never capitalized.

Other than that, this was a delightful read with entertaining characters and a "metric sh*t-tonne" of sci-fi references.
