This is a game based on a poem I wrote. 

Use the arrow keys to move your square. 

Press Q at any time to quit. 

-- 

Read the poem AFTER you play the game. 


"Clouds and Epics" 

Clouds.

You point out the figure of a giant and say

this is how epics were made. 

We are no epic. 

I know now that love is apologizing. 

Understanding that you are human 

And tragically I am too.

The rest of my life is not long enough, but  

I’ll savor those 60 years like it won’t be 60 

Seconds.

I like how you can never really reach the end, fits very well with the poem and overall theme of limited time

I like how you connected the game to another piece of media, I feel like that is a very abstract way of making games that adds a good level of depth to the meaning.

I gotta say, with how that start screen was, I was not expecting that arcade like music nor was I expecting the game play to be as such. Certainly a good subversion of expectations.

I like this game and the music feels very arcadey. I also like the maze, very fun :D

Invigorating music! I think the camera might be a bit off-center, though, since the player character is cut off at the start.
