*EDIT* uploaded a second version (Monday evening, so within the time frame here in Germany) because some of you wanted sound :)

---------------------

*JAM Entry* - because I forbid myself to enter this as a 'real' LD entry for redrawing sprites of an old game.

Staying as minimalistic as I can / want, I will avoid giving additional hints to *how to play this game* ^^

This game is a re-programming of an old time classic of mine, Binary Land! Minimal thinking -> hardly any graphics + no-brainers. Also, I think it's cute how the two lovers try to reach each other (I would say 'knuffig' in German), so please help them to get back to each other again^^

I also left out additional items from the original, because they made no sense to me. In the original game, you could call the whale after destroying several enemies, I left that out here. Also, there's no hidden cheat mode :D

And what was most disappointing was that, since I like the original so much, I was unfortunately unable to add any of my crappy music to this game, as it would not give you the right feeling. Try to imagine 'Je Te Veux' when you play it ;)

This is awesome! Such good sprites! Really cool concept, the only thing that would have made it better would have been some music/sfx. One of my favorite games yet

Nice game, but a net right after the start is a bit frustrating

Cute game. Reminds me of the classic arcade games of the 80s. Good job.

Nice job redesigning the old classic! I myself recreated this game for a birthday present for my girl :)

Interesting game! Took a while to figure out I could destroy the webs though:(

Very nice! Fun, challenging, fair enought... very solid entry. One bad point for me nevertheless: the game is more old-school oriented rather than minimalistic. But what is minimal and what is not? Hard to answer :)

Nice idea, but a little hard to line up.

nice game but very hard -- some levels are impossible as the web is in the way -- great job
