I'll admit that I didn't spend much time on it, nor really put much thought into the concept, but I thought this competition deserved more entries so I decided to make a game even though I don't really have time at the moment Tongue

Kind of cool. I like the concept, although I'm not quite sure if there was any sort of meaning. All it seems to say is to rush through life as fast as possible. Tongue

Which reminds me. I met a girl at a local ice cream shop a month or two ago. She was real adorable! And she is really nice. The other day we were chatting it up and we got to know each other a little bit.... Etienne told me not to talk about music or I might blow it.

Nah, that's not really what I meant. Just because you're rewarded for doing something doesn't make it right. I won't spoil this game by telling you the thought behind it. It's more interesting to let people find their own meanings.

Umm, no, it says 'life makes your pointer finger tired.'


 This game is awsome, and I have to agree with St. Jimmy.  Also, the graphics were bomb.

It shouldn't be about how you spell doughnut, but how you share doughnuts with others and express unity towards other people and our environment. Don't drink and drive kids, you might hit some innocent person. I don't care if you die.

Any chance for a Vista version? This seems to be GM6? Doesn't work for me anyway.

I thought this game was hilarious. Record is like 2.13 or something.

I played the game extra slowly just so I could look at the pixel-art people. : )
Nice little mini-game, and it is well-polished and professional like most of your games. : )

To me, this is a little reminiscent of Passage, but simpler (which isn't a bad thing). I found some of the details pretty amusing, such as the sudden hat and the guy's very last form. I like that the game kind of makes you consider the nature of "winning" and "losing."

Not much of a game - but I don't think that matters, as it is one of the only entries which makes an attempt at an artistic point that is actually somewhat original (the speed with which you go through life is what is emphasized and rewarded, which is nice use of irony). Nice graphics too. I love it. It's very concise and clever.

I felt kinda dirty winning the game. Like, it's not what I was supposed to do... but I didn't really have a choice... >_<

Q: If your friend were to jump off a bridge, would you jump off also?
A:
Smart response: I'd rather not jump off any bridge, provided the height of said bridge is under 5 feet and there's sand at the bottom, leaving me virtually unharmed.
Dumb response: if i did monkeygiraffes would fly out my liver and take over the 42nd dimension with theyre bananer shooting arm pits, creating a time paradox in witch pencils control alaska :O
