So I did, and during the short period when it was on Kongregate, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flashgamevault.com\/games\/49124\/mcpixel\/\">someone already put it on his site<\/a>. I wouldn\u2019t mind, but since I decided to take it down from Kong and continue development, I didn\u2019t want it to spread over the internet beforehand. <\/p>\n<p>And to my astonishment, the simple sitelock worked and the game didn\u2019t launch <img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"\/>  So I immediately got this idea in my hand: if I can rule out playing that game, I can pull off a prank <img alt=\":P\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_razz.gif\"\/>  So, I changed the sitelock to play the special ending right away if the sitelock test fails <img alt=\":)\" class=\"wp-smiley\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"\/> <\/p>\n<p>Uhm\u2026.
