I really like the concept, but I didn't get connected to the story. It came off as a little too artsy-for-the-sake-of-being-artsy to me.

Seriously if you give me a level on the credits I'm going to waste several minutes trying it until I rage quit, even if I already know it's impossible.

After you've beaten the game to the credit, press M/ESC to go back to level select, and if you press space-bar, you'll be brought back to the credit again.

My question is with a man that can turn anything to stone why is he always chasing her. Should be the other way around. :p

Im just saying, but the credits makes you look like a jerk Wanderguy. Seriously, He tries so hard t get to her, then at the end put her just out of reach.

The idea of the credits level is that, he keeps trying to reach her, not realizing he had already turned her to gold, if he touches her though SHE'LL LIVE, since he's water, so when he becomes water he'll save her if he touches her, and become gold, but he can't reach her because it's a neverending cycle, this is represented by you trying every time but failing... did I get it right Mr.Wander?

Oh, yes the story of King Midas, he invites a poor and homeless person to dinner. He then gets one wish . He wishes that everything he touches turns to gold, but he finds it a curse. He cant eat or sleep. His daughter hugs him before he can say no. He loves gold but loves his daughter more. He gets a chance to rid of the curse. He must bathe in the creek... after that the curse is gone and everything is back to normal.

I think this could use a little explanation. King Midas is a figure from Greek mythology. At some point he wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. He got his wish. Pretty great for a while, until he tried to eat... and all the food he touched turned into gold as well. Oops! Objective of the game: touch the blue block to lift the curse (yes, turning everything you touch into gold is a curse, that's the moral of the story!), then touch the girl.

In theory, the credits should be beatable. In the myth, Midas, after soaking in the river, touches his daughter, who turns back to normal.

Most people know full well of Midas' myth – the man who turns anything he touches to gold. But what some may not know is that a variation of this myth was that he even turned his daughter into gold.
In Level 8, Midas mentioned that he is a prisoner to Pactolus. This is the river that the Greek God Dinoysus told Midas to wash in so that it would wash away his power of the golden touch. This, of course, is the water that you touch on every stage.
That is what the credits mean to me – that Midas simply can not undo the damage which he has done. Even if he had the ability to jump that gap (which he does not), he can never get his daughter back ever again. -reposted

the ludum dare 22 is the same one Notch entered when he made Minecraft little brother, Minicraft, and in the description it tells that this was made for the Ludum dare 22 :P

I want to beat the credits... maybe if i try over and over again... or maybe I could just keep falling into the pit of nothingness that puts me back where i was.

my first time to rate 5-stars on mini-games which only have a "ding" sound for completing a level.
It is a great example to demo incredible gameplay!!
You don't need ultimate graphics and sound effects.
You only need a simple objective, simple control, bug-free and fun concept!! (5/5)
