OK, with 33 hours remaining, hamburger’s finally going to start thinking about getting started.<\/p>\n

“Advancing wall of doom” is a pretty morbid theme, guys. I feel compelled to make a game about the original wall of doom, that one that is advancing upon us all – death, of course!<\/p>\n

I picture myself on my deathbed, waves in my head slowly shrinking to whispers, then nothing. I have a little bit of energy left in me, but not enough to run the whole machine of my body. Should I focus it in my eyes, to see my loved ones around me? Or in my ears, to hear what they’re saying? Or in my hands, to feel when they hold them? Or should I focus all my energy inside my head, to keep those waves alive?<\/p>\n

Is this a game? I hope so. I’m going to try to run with it. If you have any suggestions, please make them. \":)\"<\/p>\n \n
