This game was a metaphorical masterpiece that brought tears to my eyes:
Our protagonist, Axel, resembles the average person lost in this new and confusing world. The way Axel walks backwards while moving forwards shows that sometimes one needs to take a step back in order to take a step forwards. Despite having an axe Axel chooses not to use it, which is a clever reference to the stockpiling of weaponry today. Axel strikes a pose every time he jumps which resembles the moment of hubris people experience before their downfall. The snakes that move forward despite being coiled up resemble all the people who get through life doing nothing and how their inactivity hurts the average person.
The fact that Axel has a wife is surprising. I honestly thought he was just a drunk hobo. I got all the wood
