Hmmm, yeah. I'd think really carefully before saying "we worked our butts off for this" if I was you. Also, what does it say about you when you invite players to visit your website and all they get is a page saying "this domain has expired"?
For the most part I agree with the previous reviewers. A few things that I found lacking in it:
* Adequate instructions. Sure, it tells you how to move and shoot but that's about it. No explanations of what everything is or the like.
* Story (what story? I clicked on what I thought was the Story button and got the aforementioned blank page).
* User-friendly gameplay. I, too, encountered sluggishness and, after buying 3 or more speed upgrades, only noticed a slight improvement. Other upgrades did not seem to make much difference.
To be honest I don't think I care much for the theme - basically a crudely drawn penis with legs flying around "shooting" at stuff. Others have done this genitally/sexually themed stuff better.

The controls are so damn confusing!
Alright, I admit they take some getting used to. I realise that the game's designed on an isometric grid but, at times, the movement seemed so counter-intuitive. You would expect Up/Down to go Up/Down, not Left/Right (as what it felt like sometimes).
If it wasn't for that little thing I would've given you a higher score.

The problem with mixing sound bites from different sources/episodes is that that the finished product loses continuity. Unless you put careful thought into the dialogue and story line you just end up with a series of seemingly random scenarios.

Great graphics and style. However the repetitive music and sound effects gets a little annoying. You need to work on your material, though. The same joke repeated, if slightly modified each time, gets somewhat tedious and predictible.

"I wanted to see how well I could synch sound to animation."
And I think you hit the mark. :D
That was beautiful. The animation matched the music damn near perfectly, both in style and synchronisity. I loved the "aurora borealis"-like effects. :)

"Good little game, but had some annoying quirks"
A nice little game (even if it was just a bit of advertising). The graphics were very good but the perpetually looped music got annoying after a while.
Also the auto-run when holding down the <- -> keys was more of a hinderance than a help. I kept on skidding on around and running off the edge of platforms. And what's with only changing weapons at those G stations?

Nice work. It *does* look similar to another game I've seen, tho, called Richochet.

...but not in a good way.
By the way, pardon for sounding like a grammar nazi but it's "hallucinations" (ie. sensory experience(s) in which a person can see, hear, smell, taste, or feel something that isn’t there).

"Breathed new life into a very old (non) joke"
Oh, man, that was hilarious! I had tears rolling down my eyes. I loved it and couldn't help singing along too! ;D

"Nice start, but does need some more work."
Yes, I think most of what needs to be said was covered by Mr RWombat. One thing I'd like to add, tho, is that if the character is meant to be female, why does she have male sound effects?
Also, about the sword animation; a different one would be better. The current animation looks a bit, well, rude. :P Unless the character is meant to be left-handed, the swing should be from right to left.
