It seems I already played your game, it was one of the coolest experiences and I recommended it to some others. I got to around the part where the black was expanding (or I was zooming into the world) but then my time was up (sadly the game crashed, but I assume it was on the moment my time ended). I tried some ways to start the game again but alas. Nice touch ensuring that people can only play it once. :)"},{"author_name":"Jellycakes","author_uid":"13474","time":"Dec 17, 2013 @ 10:22pm","epoch":1387318620,"text":"That was cool.

It gives a bit of pressure so when you just go right at first for a while you quickly stop and think whether it's really the solution... and if you understand quick enough then you have a chance to finish the game. Really enjoyed it ! And the graphics and audio add a lot to the atmosphere. Well done !"},{"author_name":"KeyMaster","author_uid":"30626","time":"Jan 6, 2014 @ 4:11pm","epoch":1389024360,"text":"Wow, this was *really* awesome!
