It’s done! After working on it at an airport, on a plane, and finally at a hotel, I’m posting my game. At first I didn’t think I would have time this weekend to do the MiniLD, but it turns out I had more than enough even while travelling.

(I probably was only able to finish this game because it was incredibly simple, but still.)

Read it upside down calculator style. Except right side up.

You can go here to play 0xC0A57ED on Kongregate.

(Rule-following is as follows:
Year as title: it’s set in year 0xC0A57ED, so far in the future that we use hexadecimal for years.
Spring physics: the movement and connection between you and the squares seems like a spring, even though it isn’t really. Let’s just say they are year 0xC0A57ED hyper-springs.)
