dying is easy

i loved to be a flapping frog. i died at the end. —@jseakle

oh no, I'm getting the distinct feeling this is a grieving game. If you have lost something, I am sorry. Please accept my condolences.

frog people die when they are killed @GreytideSkye

i died

ok the music is somber but nostalgic. don't know how you keep doing it. don't know how you keep making deep games. I feel like I clipped out, to go see things I wasn't meant to, but still, passing the torch. Passing the torch. Stuck in this life with more than I can give, but always someone else's future to help. Someone else's cup to fill with what I could not finish drinking. Is it noble to go thirsty, to fill the next cup, or am I passing pathogens from the cup before me and the cup before that, generational blights that should be poured down the sink when I can drink no more? 

I'm 33. My hip's starting to go bad, same as my father's did at this age, same as his father's did. Grandpa got his hip replaced at 60ish, invited us to the Macaroni Grill and mid-appetizer plopped a plastic bag with the bone removed from his socket. Proud. Sharing his relief. He played Tennis, was one of the top Seniors nationwide, both before and after the replacement. 

Dad had his hip replaced a few years ago, he's late 50s. He doesn't play tennis, he sits at a computer all day, smart as a whip. He used to bike to work and jog on a track, even when the pain started. It got so bad he couldn't walk up stairs. I sit at a computer all day. I'm pretty smart too. I don't jog. I don't know.

I don't think it's right for me to have kids. I don't think it's right for me to NOT have kids. I look at all the problems with my body and mind, and I don't know if I could have parented me better with the gift of foresight. I don't know if I'd be Smart if I'd had my ADHD treated 25 years ago instead of literally 8 days ago. I don't know about the hip. Replacements are pretty seamless these days; Dad was walking literally hours after the surgery. I guess all I can do is sip until I'm empty or a better cup comes along.

Thank you for this moment of reflection, this gamified confessional. @greytideskye

hoping to disappear in the end passing a torch

Enjoyed it! I like the poetry occupying the same space as the platforming. It's also interesting to see how much mileage you can get out of the screen-wrapping-collision behavior, as well as this general format, across these droqever games. -Patrick

This space is challenging to map out!

Dying is easy, I agree.
Immediately walked into those spikes

I think I disagree with some phrases? Don't think modern society has a good answer to "what is death"

i always like discovering you could fly 

it is interesting, solving and odd maze, while trying to piece together the poetry. always unsure, wondering. and death hanging under you. I'm glad I got stuck with Nothing in the end.

Really lovely. a-thing-of-beauty and suspended-fall have been two droqevers that stuck with me, and this feels of a piece with those

Afterwards I thought of the line from Italo Calvino's 'On Quickness': “Because I am not devoted to aimless wandering, I’d rather say that I prefer to entrust myself to the straight line, in the hope that the line will continue to infinity, making me unreachable. I prefer to calculate at length the trajectory of my flight, expecting that I will be able to launch myself like an arrow and disappear over the horizon.”
