This game is inspired by a social movement recently in Taiwan.
I only got a few hours to make this, but I guess that's okay.
Press SPACE to continue, ARROW KEYS to move.
Hint: It won't last long.

Cool concept. Not that much gameplay, but the story was intriguing.
the speeding up was cool, and nice presentation, though not much of a game.
Cool story. I feel like it could be a really great intro to a larger game of some sort.
good take on the theme, and great story. I thought the lack of gameplay would make it boring, but I sat through the whole thing interested up to the end. Well done :)
Great storytelling here. I love the little details like how you shrink a bit and get slower when you are of old age.
Amazing what you can express with just a set of rectangles
Nice story, really. For a moment I thought mutants were going to appear, hehe.
I like this entry, the theme use is strong and so is the poetry. Good job considered the amount of time.
Very poignant! The limited color palette really provides a nice visual for what's going on, and your passage of time is very well done! Are you a participant in IGDShare?
Very unique take on the theme. Wish there was a bit more player input, though I'm not sure if that would take away from the story or not.
Very very good use of simple themes and simple shapes but presented so well as to have a meaning more than "Hey, I'm a rectangle! Look at me dance!" - fantastic work.
Hm. It's touching.
BTW I forgot about theme while playing and when finished game and started to rank I found that game fits theme perfect.
A truly unique take on the theme, but half-life refers to the amount of time it will take half of something to decay away, not how long it will take it to decay for the first time. You could have had little chunks of the buried material falling off and changing color over time, with half still left at year 24100. Still, a very powerful message!

MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
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.
Lovely story, especially given the short time period.
