Theme:

The theme of this jam is:

Time passing:

Time passes, sometimes slowly sometimes quickly. There is always something happening. Seconds tick away, hours pass turing into days becoming weeks and months, years go by they form decades that become centuries. And those become our lives. Seasons change, the sun goes up and down and the earth spins around. Life reproduces, life dies. Some are scared of the futer or trying to forget the past. Others embrace it. It is realative but it feels so constant. Whenever it feels like time is changing speed it is just our mind. It feels special, it feels normal. Many people have tried to controle and understand time, but in the eyes of others or themselfs they failed. 

You are free to interpret this however you like.

Lifeform of this jam:

The lifeform of this edition is a greenland Shark.

Greenlandschark can live for hundreds of years. They live in the cold darkness of the deepsea. In order to live this long the sacrifice their senses like sight over time. Their metabolism is many times slower then that of most animals. It could be said that they live the same amount of life just over a longer period.

You are free to interpret this any way you like. This is not a criteria that your game will be judged on.
