Time flies straight, like an arrow. Unless you are experiencing fractal time. Navigate your way around the fields of mushy time, searching for an extra couple of seconds. It's hard without a compass, so go find it up in the solid world before regressing.
Best enjoyed in fullscreen mode (lil' button in the top right), after 1.5 standard drinks.

JavaScript/Canvas based. The code, like the game play, is born of fatigue and good intentions. I know no one reads text, but I relied heavily on text to explain things to make up for poor game design. Next time time.

Awesome !! This is one hell of an idea for a game. Brain teasing and fun to play. Good job.
This game is great. I'm speechless, I truly am. I loved the take on the mechanic, the graphics were really fitting and the mood was just right. Keep up the good work, this game really blew my mind.
This game was awesome! You can't just go straight but you have to make some detour to finish the game, I love that! It's like a story inside the story. Fantastic space-time game mechanism.
Wow, I am sure that game did some sort of permanent damage. I got all the way to the end, and it definitely sucked me in. Nice work on keeping it original.
flipping nuts and totally great. I actually beat this game. Very creative and well executed. I loved the sense of progression with carl and the compass. The mood is very well done.
Oh man, this was interesting. I am not sure what just happened, but it was fun! Very trippy experience. Graphics, music were all fine and I didn't think it was hard to navigate the maze.
Only the fullscreen mode was bothering me. I noticed you can turn it on by clicking on the circle in the upper right corner. Escape switches back to normal. But escape is also needed for some of the text in the game to go away. :/
Wow I love the changing field of view / perspective as you turn around, you really achieved that "travel through time and space" that you wanted. You greatly delivered, great job. Only thing that could have been better is music, but hey, it's still worth a 5 for me.
Surreally fun game. The ambient music was pleasant to my unworthy ears, and the old-skool software rendering effects were great and very trippy at times. :)
Awesome! At first I thought "lame, a game about telling me I can't reach something", but then I tried it again, and again, and then I was all "woah". :-)
I will endorse this game even if Mr S will not. It may be, I think, my favourite experience of the competition so far. It certainly messed with my perception of time and space more than any of the others!
woahh I initially thought i would not like this much, but it really surprised me! loved the fractals travelling idea, really original, and good humor ir your fractal time traveller guy lol really novel!
A very unique concept and mind-warping visuals. It wasn't initially clear to me what I needed to do, only noticing the little door to the right of the starting area after a few attempts to beat the clock.
Brilliant. Just brilliant! There were some artifacts with the sprites for some reason, but otherwise the graphics were just really cool! :) Very cool concept!
Profoundly weird, psychedelic, and nostalgic. Truly, one of the best games in this LD. The exploration and visuals were truly remarkable as well as the weird humour, inclusion of Carl Sagan and time manipulation narrative. Great work!
One of the most favorite game I've played. Waggy, groovy style. Actually, it's the first game I really want to see its code of how to do an perspective effect like that. Nice nice!
Very interesting. Although I did not really understand what I did, it seems I have done it intuitively right before the motion sickness of the strage graphics caught me. Very cool. The sound gives a good athmosphere.
Okay, Carl Sagan was helpful :-) Nice little game, and I liked the fov effect in the fractal space, it really felt like time stretched. Cool entry indeed!
I couldn't get passed the first part, I'd always die before the clock runs out, haha. I assume this is a homebrew 3d rendering engine? I think some of the math is funky 0_o, but I love that you did it yourself, haha. The graphics and sound could be better, too. Good job tho I'd love to see more of your work!
That was quite an odd experience, and like nothing I've ever played. It was quirky, and yet it somehow kept me playing longer than I though I would. Bonus points for including Carl Sagan.

VERY trippy game.
Profoundly weird. And bonus points for including Carl Sagan, of course.
Deserve a bit more "cleaner" graphics.

(Carl would have approved, I'm sure.)
Surreally fun game. The ambient music was pleasant to my unworthy ears, and the old-skool software rendering effects were great and very trippy at times. :)
love it
check out our game please
The rest of the game is also nice, I could play only 4 minutes today, but I will definitely check this one later(already maked bookmark).
Really weird how I kind of found myself recognising where I was in the fractal and could find my way out :)
Loved it!
Fun game though :)
I need a hint! :)
Btw, I've updated the hint on my game, you couldn't figure out how to fance ;). Seems like we are really lame with solving eachothers games :P
Very cool. The sound gives a good athmosphere.
Awesome job!
Great visual effects :)
So this is how your brains on LD looks like.
Didn't think the pointed message "Carl Sagan is to the right" after dieing twice was necessary, but I understand in the context of LD.
Reminded me of old kids educational cartoons, awesome vibe. Well fucking done.
But good entry.
