A page torn from the happy spastic handbook

I won't give this a rating out of 5 stars unless you request me to... I don't see the value in doing that.

Anyway, I'm in love with any game that lets you turn the smiling protagonist into a spastic by simply tapping buttons in rapid succession.

WEEEEE!

Just FYI, in the UK the word

I see. Gotcha.

Duly noted. I'd remove the comment myself, but seem unable to do so. That's fine, as it's better to own up to mistakes.

I tried writing several apologies, but they all sounded unintentionally facetious. The best I can do is alter my vocabulary and pledge to be more sensitive.*

Beaten! Enjoyed!

Also, congrats on creating one of the few games to feature a Black female protagonist.

It's Game Maker. It's huge

It's Game Maker. It's huge because to get Game Maker to dynamically change volume in-game, I needed to use a WAV file.

i'm giving this a five for

i'm giving this a five for two reasons. one, i love this song. two, i thought you were supposed to mash the button instead of just hold it, which made it sound choppy and amused me to no end
