It's really neat to see life played out literally in game form. The concept reminds me of Passage quite a bit. Though the racing element certainly does separate the two.
The fastest I can do is around four seconds. And that's through cheating using a tablet...

3.3 seconds (whit tablet :) )

1.53 seconds with Joy2Key. In such a hurry to die, aren't we?

3.26 seconds. I have really fast fingers. I was using a mouse, btw.

Maybe I should have added online highscores...
I can't do less than four seconds on my mouse.

2.77 sec, with mouse.

I claim the above post btw :).

Would it not have been tip tap (just one button), I would have got a better time... But this is probably OK, too.
3.67, playing with a mouse.

Because the evil timer makes us!
Posted by: x_x | June 24, 2008 10:48 PM
Haha. This is like a satirical version of passage.
Not quite as good as space fuck though.
