Present Continious by Taugeshtu
Walking around... Jumping, crowling, twisting, melting.
It's Present Continious. It's your time, your life. And your lifetime was stolen! Find some more, somehow, or die. Death isn't that bad coise, dear.. But there's also another end.
Sort of art walk-around... WASD, Spacebar, LMB/E (perform parkour), B (act), Escape (in Windows build).
You've got hardwared "clock" with your lifetime stored in it - spend it or get more.

If you made it to black sceen, asking "Are you alone now?" - it's good end) Being alone in front of TV (just like at 5th screenshot) - that's the bad end I think.
Podcast also contain sort of "what to do" solution for good ending, but I'm really not happy with it - I've run out of time to make something more solid...

Recording Red podcast number... WHAT? Fuck!
Got fucked by time stealers!
Damn, wasn't planning to die today...
I've got to find some time..somehow.. Should walk around, searching for some work
Well, at least I've got nothing to loose - being alone for a long time...
Fucking people going crazy... All over this place, all over the world! They appear, they grow, and then they just... dissapear!
And no "living" inside, most of them are just "going to live" sometime
That's Pretty sad guys... Poor gray crowd - gray clothes, gray faces and gray thoughts...
Sometimes it seems to me, just seems to me... that I'm the only one who's capable of doing... whatever. I seriously got to drink something in beautiful place...
But hapiness - it's so clear and simple, that it turns to be stupid - it isn't in world reactions, it's in your own way to push yourself beyond the limits, overstep the boundaries!
They.. they just don't want to blame themselves! they're afraid of anything! Afraid of failing, afraid of winning, afraid of even fucking living! PEOPLE! What's the point?! Why are you living then? Why are you walking through crowd alone, why do you do that, WHY?
You're just another dumb fuck... You're going to say "NOOOAAAAUUU!" like roaring bear attracting someone who'll make him feel his own testies,
but you are ALREADY realizing why that thought came to your tiny jellous brain... Yeah, just because you are dumb fuck.
Do you know what it is like - live every second like it's the last one? Do you know how I feel now, running for life? You're getting softer and softer, you may think that your pike is behind - ITS NOT! Do what you was grown for, give yourself challenge of fucking living!
Or is it that hard for you, little listener?)
I know it is hard. I know you can't do it. I forgive you...
Podcast end.

Got working WebBuild, gonna update post right now!
Here's link to web build:

I like the idea of the podcast, but I'm not sure how it was supposed to fit in. Was the player character supposed to be saying it? Listening to it? Was it supposed to be more abstract and a commentary on the game itself? It was also pretty hard to understand.
I'm interested to see what you do in future.
And thank you for your comment!
P.S.
I'm going to do MindSpace game in future (in fact, I'm going it at very present moment, meaning release it in future), you could find it on TIGSource in Devlogs section...
Well, honestly - I screwed up this point :D I was confident that I could write good run/wallrun universal formula "by memory", but thruth is - equation should be waaaay more complicated and couldn't be done properly in LD deadline (by me at least, and you should left some time for the rest of whole game)
I think I should stick to simple "constant walking" engine (instead on physics-based) and gave more time to crowd, story and environment... But that's my first LD, hey! :)
> surreal. melike.
Thank you, stranger! It's always sooooo nice to read cheering comments!
The game was a little laggy (you could've reduced the clipping distance or added fog) but most of the time ran okay. And also there could've been more animations to liven the game up a little.
Anyways those are just my perfectionist comments. :P Nice job overall!
