completely pointless. and life isn't. so a lame attempt at being deep.
Reviews for "Not a Race"
Could be done better.
Interesting little game, though I would say it's too hectic for a meditation game even when playing it right. I also think that the controls could be communicated better: the Z button could just as well look like a Z, when you die I would show ENTER, and I would indicate that you're over relaxing by filling the purple bar with a second (green) bar.
Lastly, just one or two simple sound effect and music that switches between hectic & relaxed would add a lot to the experience.
Overall, it's a fairly solid experience. How much time did you have to make it?

Thanks a lot :) I can see the point your talking about. I was trying to reach more of understanding the concept because it will bring u peace in our hectic life. It took me like between 4 to 8 hours, I don't remember :)
Deep and -very- subtle. It could use some sound though tbh. Even if that would be difficult to find a fitting soundtrack to go with this.
And "gaining" time, @ThePencilQuesters? Isn't it part of the philosophy that time's a constant factor you can't change. You can only change the pace you "race" through everything? I wish I could see it all.

Glad you enjoyed it :)
So life is actually a race where you need to temporarily stop to maximize average speed?
amidos2006 responds:
I can see your point but in the end, there is nothing, you end to die but if you always stop and watch the changes you will enjoy the game more. Also, you are not racing any other people, it doesn't matter where you will die :)
