so actually what this gets down to is this: programmer writes game. programmer gets a couple of snotty kids rubbishing the effort in reviews. programmer put a heap of effort into writing game to make a point to snotty kids about (game program writing and game mechanics) compared to (flashy graphics and over-built frontends). snotty kids "dont geddit duh".
so did the programmer win or lose?
hiding the statement that the game was trying to make in the "secret achievement" screen is probably a fail, but i understand the sentiment being expressed there.
giving this 5 stars - because making a "popular game" out of a "reaction to lame reviews of another program game" is the sort of deliberate irony which doesn't get lost on some developers...
