Ha, it actually breaks after 10 seconds.

Nice visual stuff. I like the inverting of the colors. I also notice the Sosowski-Style beat in the background :P

It traverses it's own memory. This is really cool. Although more a techdemo than a game...

There's a great sense of speed to it, once you get going. I wish it lasted longer. I think it would also player better (easier, at least) if the left and right arrows controlled strafing instead of turning.

Weird, but I wouldn't expect anything otherwise from Sos, the Marcel Duchamp of indie game devs :D

Haha it's kinda like a super speeded up version of ice fishing v at least in the visuals and the mindfuckingness of it all!

I'm a bit disappointed, I thought my monitor would explode.

But the idea is great! ;-)

This is the only game so far to make me laugh. :)
On one of my attempts I heard a robotic voice start to say something unintelligible right before it crashed... Does... Does that mean I win?

I don't know why I find this so enjoyable, but I really like your implementation of the theme.
