Keeper is an "art game", I guess? It's about love and life and loss. Unless you play Arcade Mode which is all about getting a high score with none of those silly feelings.

INSTRUCTIONS
Click to select menu options. Press and hold spacebar for "ten seconds" to complete each level.
Kongregate version has high score support, but had ads.

NOTES
This game was made in under six hours* with Stencyl 3.0 beta. Sounds were made using OpenMPT and edited using Audacity. Royalty free ocean wave sounds were from soundjay.com.
* I was way overbooked this weekend having spent my entire Saturday doing needlework demos at the county fair. The game (at least the arcade mode mechanics) was designed while I was pooping at the fair after eating too many fried bacon mac and cheese turnovers. I am not even kidding.
I was sort of interested in the story, but i'm afraid it couldn't keep me interested enough to wait holding the spacebar for ten seconds over and over again. I like the atmosphere though, and a pretty good attempt for six hours ;)
This was very... Interesting. The gameplay wasn't the best, but I was honestly very hooked. The simple graphics and incredible audio made this game more of an experience. This was incredible. No doubt, 5/5

Very nice entry! I liked how it was so simple on the surface, but was really much more complex.
@lulzfish_4: When you say "100" do you mean 10 actual seconds, or until the timer reaches 10.00? The game measures time by the timer and not actual time, and that stage has the biggest time offset.
The writing is excellent, and the gameplay gets reasonably challenging. I like how you made both a Story and an Arcade mode. On the whole, though, this game felt a bit minimal. (Maybe you should have made it for the last Ludum Dare.)

Interesting idea, wish you had more time to build a game around it.
Good use of the theme.
