A platformer all taking place in one screen's worth of space with portals and level modification. Hence, a lot made from a little, which is the idea of minimalism.

It reminds me a bit of a poor-graphics version of Nitrome's Test Subject Blue and sort of a storyline like Portal's.

It has a level editor, the button to go there is at the bottom-left of the title screen.

I may expand this description, later, but right now there's no time. I spent most of submission hour on bugfixes. (That is allowed, by the way.)

Oh, yeah, maybe I should mention that I used FlashDevelop, Flixel, GIMP, SFXR, Autotracker-bu, Audacity, and DAME. I hope I didn't forget anything.

Important thing to know: The tutorial guy lies a lot.

Good humor and well designed levels. The level editor is a nice touch too.

Cool, but confusing, but i think that was the idea :D

Excellent. This was a brilliant way to deal with the minimalist concept. One level that shifts whenever you go through the 'portals' was just a superb idea - was a pleasure to see this one.

Very nice, I definitely had a couple of those "Aha" moments when I discovered things about the puzzle mechanics.

Minimalism makes for maximal fun. Playing this game reminded me of some stuff we played back in the 80s. But the sound is much better than ^G terminal beeps.

Really rad concept! I loved the portal-style puzzles, the shifting levels, going back to the start and continuing left, great job!

Very funny with some good puzzles. Valve should hire you for Portal 3 ;)

Nice mechanic, good dialog, fun to play. The "ending" seemed a bit anticlimactic, but mainly because being taunted throughout the game, I don't trust that what I found really was the ending. :P

Spiridios: That was the ending, and yes, it is very anticlimactic. I was just getting really tired of making levels at that point. I wish I was better at level designing, then I probably could have made an actual false ending, which would have been cool.
