Duckman: Can you believe it? Five hundred bucks for a parking ticket?
Cornfed Pig: You parked in a handicapped zone.
Duckman: Who cares? Nobody parks there anyway, except for the people who are supposed to park there and, hell, I can outrun them anytime.

I love the cover art and the new background art!
By the way, shouldn’t there be a comma after the word “hell” in the title? Or am I reading the title wrong? It just really bothers me that there is that glaring punctuation problem in the title of the game. Can you put a little comma in there?
Nope if anything there should be an exclamation mark at the end because it’s what Dave’s Grilfriend says to him before they die “GO TO HELL DAVE!”
Ok, I’m the last person to give grammar or punctuation advice, but check this out:

Is the name of the place “Hell Dave” or is she telling Dave to go to Hell?
if you are the last one then i do/should not exist .
It’s an exclamatory so there is no need for a comma. You wouldn’t say fuck off, dave. It’s the same principal. I’ll be honest I’m not brilliant with grammar but my business partner (the writer of the game) is a pure grammar Nazi so I assure you it’s correct thanks for your concern :-)

Actually, “fuck off, Dave!” is absolutely correct. The exclamation point just makes it a strong command, but it’s still a command.
I see where you’re from, so maybe the name of this piece will show you what I mean: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule,_Britannia!
If grammar isn’t your thing, and it’s not mine, then I think you should definitely get an outside person to proofread every bit of text in your game. Don’t make the mistake that POS made with their TSL game, which had several grammatical and punctuation mistakes. It makes the whole thing feel kinda amateurish.
Is there an editor out there to clear this up?
I’m stupid with grammar but I too saw the title as part of Dave’s name in some strange American Indian way, not a directive. Like “Eat Plenty Donuts Brian” or “Dance Crazy Rhythm Alice”. It’s hard with a title because you have to use capitals. If it was “Go to hell, Dave!” with the talking marks there would have been no doubt what it meant.
I agree, comma should be there. Exclamation mark doesn’t affect that.
