My entry for Klik of the Month #25 -- I made the screen a bit too big to post in place here. Arrow keys move, z and x fire and jump.
Falls a bit under "failed experiments", especially how some of the blocks are still flying upward, but at least I got around the feel of what I had been aiming for. Inspired by BoingBoing Offworld's coverage of Puit Wars.
The way deleted youtube videos still have a preview still is both a cruel tease and an important marker of what was.
Those weird nighttime thoughts of how weird it is to be. And how someday, to be no longer.
Or, god wiling, to be old; to be living in largely in the past tense. Am I living enough now to feel good about it later?
Future self, I swear on all that's holy I'm doing the best I possibly can.
Or maybe not, but you wouldn't've done much better, you old coot!
