A minimalist game.
I made this in an hour and a half. It's very difficult, my highest score so far is 10.

This is great. I got two points that one time and it was very exciting. Clearly best readme file of this Ludum Dare.
I feel threatened by the readme. A score of 4 is something to be proud of, right?
Instructions were not clear enough, I got my fans stuck in a bowl.
I think you are. Also, did you excerpt that readme out of House of Leaves?
Okay, that took a while to figure out. My vocabulary feels woefully inadequate or at least my spelling for this game. Best score is 8.
I don't get it, and having to reopen the program to restart gets annoying. Still... whatever it is... in Innovation and Humor it gets 5 stars.
I scored 2. I have no clue. Tried to mess around with the title's letters but no cigar. So yeah, I guess you're fucking with me.
I think... if you can get a score between 6 and 8, then I'll be convinced you did it on purpose :)
In retrospect, if you could get an odd number at all, you probably knew what you were doing.
If anyone is still playing this game (I know I am), I made a program to make it automatically restart if you lose.

Just put it in the same folder as the game executable, and run it to start.
Alt-tab to the console window and press any key to stop restarting the program.
It also works with any executable, if you really want, but you have to manually run it from a console window ("ContinueRunning HCYET").
It has literally zero error handling because I'm lazy.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
I got 35, top game
