It reminds me somewhat of the movie &quot;In Time&quot;, following the principle of using time as money. It's great to see that concept in a game!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I noticed a minor bug (or feature?) in the jumping minigame - if you stand on the top platform and hit the jump key again and again, you'll spawn a lot of these time &quot;pixels&quot; making it very easy to... well... grind your way up^^"},{"author_name":"MetroidMan347","author_uid":"6807","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 4:49am","epoch":1378010640,"text":"I felt the exact same way about it, but you know, it is what it is.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Actually yes, I was thinking that basically the whole time. That was a cool movie. I hope I can make a better game using similar mechanics in the future.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Yeah, it's not supposed to spawn more than two pixels at once but I think it does and I didn't have time to fix it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I think my favorite part overall is the potato helmet.

I'm still not sure what the different armors did, and I was hoping something special (like a win screen) would happen when I equipped the potato, but alas. Not bad, but it feels like you didn't get everything you wanted in."},{"author_name":"jomomomo","author_uid":"4914","time":"Sep 1, 2013 @ 11:45pm","epoch":1378078800,"text":"Can't play windows games.  :-("},{"author_name":"MetroidMan347","author_uid":"6807","time":"Sep 3, 2013 @ 4:02am","epoch":1378180620,"text":"I'm afraid I can't make non-Windows games at the moment.\r<br\/>Maybe someday. :)"},{"author_name":"BomberGames","author_uid":"12861","time":"Sep 11, 2013 @ 9:23pm","epoch":1378934280,"text":"I don't know about this &quot;grind&quot; thing - maybe that makes it art.
