Title: Please judge my graphics...

The game is played from a top-down perspective. This shot is during a conversation with yourself, and includes the main character portrait.

You may notice that Keith (that's the main character's name) has a white border around him. This is an issue with the transparency detection, and I saw it after completing several frames. I'm too lazy to fix it, so I decided I'd center some of the writing around Keith having a white border around him and everyone making fun of him for it. But in your opinion, is the graphical degradation worth the laughs?

Also, since the game has you playing a teenage hardcore gamer who uses a lot of l33tspe4k, do you think that the message on the quit box "Ar3 j00 n0t l33t hax0r en0ugh t0 pl4y?" appropriate?

It looks kinda like reboot.  ;)

You have a few things to clean up, like the white around the character and the pink on the objects, but other then that, I like it, its a different step from the other adventure games I have seen.

Well, I thought that I'd leave the white border in so I could make a few jokes about it. But is it really too ugly? If so, I'll get rid of it.

Nah, just leave the white in as a joke. and the l33tspe4k joke with the quit option seems okay too, just as long as it's not used through the whole game.

Yeah, leave it in, but don't over do the joke.
