Nice preloader button and exposition text.
The various attempts were kinda predictable (apart from the specifics of the ladder and the ending, I saw everything coming quite clearly).
I did like the general presentation of the whole thing and the spin you put on that quote... great.
My main beef is the graphical style - it just irks me how everyone rips Krinkel's limbless characters for the sake of easier animation. Still, at least it was reproduced fairly well, even if I don't like the style.
