I've had this game in my 'to test' folder and have only recently tried it out. It was a pretty perfect time to be doing so though, as I'd just finished re-watching Toy Story 3 and am nearing 18 in two months, so my childhood is coming to an end, so I find these themes (and Toy Story's theme, now that I've mentioned it already) very relevant.
This game is short and I suppose, in a since, simple, yet amazing and I'd definitely suggest it. It's one of those few indie games that I've made sure I've shown to all my friends that come over to mine every Saturday, and as they're in the same predicament they found it brilliant as well, if not a little depressing.
Have loved your work since I first met you on 64Digits when you released the brilliant 'The Power' and you've simply got bigger and better since, yet retained your style. This game just proves to me yet even more that you're one of my favourite game developers.

This is incredible! :) How you filled such a simple game with so much meaning is impressive; I'm astounded by just how many metaphors you've managed to fit into this game. Heat's soundtrack fits perfectly and plays a vital role in exhibiting the mood of the story. Great job, guys!

the parralells between life as a human being on earth and your average platform game make for such a sweet gaming experience. I've been playing alexitron games since the Power and this is the most mature work to date!

Loved the game play and music, the game was challenging enough to be fun but easy enough to experience it in entirety. Well done!

Nice visuals and a very well conveyed message, but the damn thing was utterly unplayable at times... I just quit, too frustrating. But still, congratulations, it's worth playing for the story.

Great job, I really like it, I think It is a little hard, like a lot... I had to try a lot to see the ending. Overall its a great work, keep on working hard. Maybe we could say the game is like passage, but I do not agree with this idea. Passage does not need any skills. In your game if your are not good at plateformer, well you wont go to far. In passage my parents can definitely play the game without ever experiencing failure. The experience in passage is more about what ever happens you will get old and die(one meaning). And everything started to fall have a lot of meaningful little things going around, although the game talks more about the contemporary life: where people don't have choices - you are stock with one line life like in your game (except for the adolescence part). Overall you did something great.
