''[[Mighty Jill Off]]'' is a 2008 platformer game developed by [[Anna Anthropy]]. It follows Jill, a bottom with a [[boot fetish]] in a lesbian BDSM relationship, climbing a tower after being kicked off by her partner. The game received praise for its insight into BDSM and the dom/sub relationship. ''[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]]''{{'s}} [[Kieron Gillen]] called it an "interesting examination of the master/slave relationship".<ref name="rps">{{cite web |last=Gillen |first=Kieron |url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/09/17/whip-it-mighty-jill-off/ |title=Whip It: Mighty Jill Off |work=[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]] |date=2008-09-17 |access-date=2010-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109154722/http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/09/17/whip-it-mighty-jill-off/ |archive-date=2010-11-09 |url-status=live }}</ref> ''Rock Paper Shotgun''{{'s}} Alec Meer described it as a "wry, subversive examination of why video game protagonists put themselves through a torturous amount of struggle to reach their objectives".<ref>{{cite web |last=Meer |first=Alec |url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/08/03/dont-squeal-piggy-when-pigs-fly/ |title=Don't Squeal, Piggy: When Pigs Fly |work=[[Rock, Paper, Shotgun]] |date=2009-08-04 |access-date=2010-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101109154733/http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/08/03/dont-squeal-piggy-when-pigs-fly/ |archive-date=2010-11-09 |url-status=live }}</ref> James DeRosa praised Anthropy for her implementation of elements and ideas that most games do not cover and called it a "hypersexualized, bondage-themed platformer" with which Anthropy "explores the power dynamics of sexuality and disassembles essentialist male and female sex roles as portrayed in video games -- as well as the significance of difficulty and reward as a design method".<ref name="bitmob">{{cite web|last=DeRosa |first=James |url=http://www.bitmob.com/articles/five-indie-games-referenced-in-super-meat-boy-that-will-beat-your-face-into-a-meaty-bloody-pulp |title=5 Tough-As-S*** Indie Games Referenced in Super Meat Boy |work=Bitmob.com |date=2010-12-02 |access-date=2010-12-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110815170458/http://bitmob.com/articles/five-indie-games-referenced-in-super-meat-boy-that-will-beat-your-face-into-a-meaty-bloody-pulp |archive-date=2011-08-15 }}</ref>
