This game is good. That's the sum of what I've got to say about it. It was somewhat overhyped by the media in my point of view, and I wouldn't consider it to be some kind of perfect indie masterpiece, but it's a damn good game.

The "gimmick" of the story, which as you should probably know by this point is the curse which kills your player every single minute of gameplay, sounds something like too much pressure on the player and/or an aggravating hindrance, but as a person who has hated artificial time limits my whole life, I can still say that the "curse" is neither. While not revolutionary, the mechanic does make the game unique, and does serve a key purpose- it forces the player to consider every action carefully, plan accordingly, and make decisions which can make or break their entire 1-minute "day". And most of all, it promotes a policy of trial and error, error, error, error, and so on.

The price is, perhaps, just a bit more than it's worth, since the game is unfortunately quite short, and I did buy it on sale (though only for a small amount off), but considering the price only goes as high as around $10 it's hard to complain. If it's on sale for, say 50% off or more, the price is more than reasonable.
