You are a pygmy from the paleolithic period and you accidentaly open a breach through time to modern days. This is a good opportunity to discover things and bring back modern concepts to your time !
I found a bug (maybe?). You can break the portal: just stand next to it and smash him for a while, it'll break and you won't be able to use it anymore, making you stuck at the cave. After breaking it once you're still able to completely destroy it, leaving just some particles behind. Kind of cool, actually.
Thanks all for the comments _^o^/ @LegacyCrono : yes the door can still be broken, because at first, opening it didn't award a Discovery. So you could either figure out how to get the key, or take the time to destroy it :)
Unfortunately, I decided later on to add a reward for using the key (yeah I was tired, brain was off, no more coffee..etc).

Haha, truly amazing :) Haven't found all concepts yet, but the way to get the key is brilliant!

Brilliant game - Well done!
I got all 30 discoveries and what I think is the maximum possible score, (316?) Is anything supposed to happen after that? I just waited until my time ran out and it sent me back home like usual.
I really liked the game. The graphics are really nice and the animations are smooth. The audio is very nice as well - putting in the raindrops for example was a nice touch. However whilst there is re-playability in the achievements it would have been nice with more areas to explore and more items to use (but I guess that just goes along with the game type).
Woah, I've been playing this game for 40 minutes xD!! I got up to "5 left" without reading this thread.
This game is awesome :)
BTW: You don't really need the key, you can brute-force the door by smashing it for like 10 straight seconds. You don't get the "keys make things explode" achievement but the door is gone allright :)
@deepnight: I mean the TIME portal, not the door. :P At the cave, you can destroy the portal, and it will stop working. You can press R to restart and it will be working again though.
Super awesome. I never did discover everything, and I had to read the secret of getting the key on here, so I'm not as smart as a cave pygmy, but I still thought it was way awesome.
This game's great, but I wish I either didn't have a timer or didn't have to rediscover everything every play-through. The art is top-notch (though it looks to me like the lady has a beard, gotta say :)) and the gameplay idea and theme are lovely. Humor was a little bit lowbrow but appropriate for cavemen. Somehow I destroyed the platform that the portal is on, so now I think I'm stuck in my cave forever..?
It was interesting to look at your source code (I never knew you could use ">" in typedef like that!). I wasn't able to compile though, I get: Class not found : pix.Sprite (in Entity.hx), is that available somewhere?
A very good entry, and funny too. Really nails the discovery theme, too. I managed a score of 268, with 26 of 30 discoveries. I suspect I am missing some involving the toilet, and possibly the rabbit, book, TV or computer.

Hopefully in a later version ?

Fantastic work.
Really awesome game. Next time should time travel to year 2588 maybe.
No no no no.

The game reminded me a bit of Achievement Unlocked, but in a very good way.
Great game, lots of fun to play.
Brilliant game, full of funnies and well played discoveries.
In any case, all together a very good entry.
