---If you play and comment, please tell me how far you got! That would be very awesome of you to do.---
---Setting and gameplay:
Half the Time is a top-down action game about only having 10 seconds left to live in. The only way to keep on living is to steal time from other people by killing them.
The Mayfly (the character that you control) is specialized in the art of spinning (think "rolling" mechanic from RPGs) and kills people in that way.
An alternative to killing is that if you have a special bond with someone, then you can share your time with them and thus let them keep on living (or take their time and lengthen your own life).
---Story:
In this harsh world a crippled girl somehow manages to survive and meets a man called the Mayfly. They fall in love and now he uses every day to gather time for her.
You control the Mayfly, but the story is mainly told by the crippled girl.
---Controls:
Arrow keys/WASD to move
Space to spin and advance dialogue.
But read the tutorial!
---Extra comments:
If you play the game I will love you, but if you also leave a comment I will love you forever.
For people trying to complete the game: the story ends at "good luck" but then you can keep on playing harder and harder waves until you run out of time (post your high score (best day)!).
You should also at some point try to let her time run out.
Wait a moment for it to load on Kongregate. There's probably a grey screen at first.

---Update (27/8/2013):
I consider this a "typo" error: I forgot to make a boolean check before she says I love you too. There are some instances where she is not supposed to say that, and now she doesn't.
