Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

WARNING : CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS
NOTE : Gamepad recommended!

The adventures of a star called down to earth to resolve a brewing conflict. Plagued by youfos and looms it sets out to spread happiness throughout the lands. Armed with the power of the raimbro which has been developed through meditation the stars presence leaves nothing untouched. 'And So the Game Has Gone' is a vibrant and imaginative platformer set in a twisting and undulating world of color. Spread Happiness! Harass Birds! Discover hidden art galleries! Shoot raimbros! Be the 8-pointed star.

'And So the Game Has Gone (Ep. 01)' is an art as game platformer by c 'transient' martin based on his album as 'fascinating earthbound objects' of the same name.

Hints:
Keep in mind your score (happiness) is determined by 'Happiness - Seconds it took to beat * Remaining Lives'
Shooting a ufo with a raimbro gives you 1 point, combo-ing shots will make your points grow larger. 1st=1 2nd=2 3rd=4 4th=8 5th=16 6th=32 & 7th=64.
On a 7 hit combo your trueform emerges and makes you invincible to Youfos for a period of time.
There is a hidden art gallery in each main zone (each containing a 100 point bonus.)
There is also 100 point bonuses spread throughout the levels.
Snakes can't hurt you, they can only blind you temporarily.
Maximize your happiness by completing the game as fast as possible, losing the least amount of lives, and collecting the most happiness possible.
AGAIN! If you've got an wired Xbox 360 controller around, plug it in and USE IT! The game is so much better with it.
A good score is breaking 100,000, a great score is breaking 150,000. Perhaps you can get more!
