Life of a Photon by netguy204
Did you know that a photon can travel 1.8 million miles in 10 seconds? That sounds like plenty of room to build a game!
Grab things that give you energy and avoid things that take it away. Get up enough speed to see the universe in your short lifetime. (Note that relativistic time dilation will extend your life a bit if you pick up enough speed!)
Make sure you play more than once.

Nice graphic style as well!
The bit about time dilation made me chuckle.
Great music, really made it that much more enjoyable!
The story is simple and captivating. I tried the best I could to keep going, and move further into the giant space, because I really liked the "death screen" messages.
The music was simple, and yet fitting to the game, giving that feel of space exploration...
This would be a great game to play on the go. So if you can do a port of it to mobile platforms (even as it is) you can be in for big money.
Rated 9/10 will play again when finished (or as it is, for that matter).
Still very fun and I really liked the 'story telling' mechanic, if that's what you would call it. :)
Best: Distance .152, Speed .7863.
