Achilles is Chasing a Tortoise. Surprisingly, the tortoise keeps jumping deeper in a 111.111... meter-long rabbit hole every 10 seconds.
Achilles follows it into smaller and smaller corners ... He must use arrow and space to survive and try not to lose his game. But perhaps his only hope is just to run as far as he could.

The HTML5 web link is pointing at a Google Drive download. Did you mean to upload the zip directly to this site?

I kept getting stuck and wasn't able to keep moving to the right. I don't know what casued it, but one time it happened right at the start and the second time it happened as I got close to the tortoise. Because of this I could never reach him in time :(

To @mikesalyh: I uploaded a HTML5 version to Ludum Dare a while ago so you can play it here now. I failed to do that yesterday due to server-related error.

To @fishy-f1shy: (@fishy-f1shy): Thanks for your comment! For the present version, Achilles must start running as early as possible and be lucky enouph to get close to the tortoise. He is deemed to become slower as he go through the microscopic world. I hope I could make it more bearable/ enjoyable in the future.

@olivieryc, it comes from the ancient myth that in a race, the slowly-moving tortoise is always a bit ahead of Achilles with a mileage ratio of 110:100, 111:110, 111.1:111 .... I will make it clearer in updates.
