A kind of arena shooter, but with a twist. You have to reach the exit of each level, but there is limited time to do so. You can choose if you go the long way (which will take more time) or if you will go the direct way and destroy some of the green blocks. This will take less time, but turn your helpers (blocks that shoot at your enemies) into deadly foes.
Time stops if you don't move, so you don't have to act in a hurry, but can plan your moves instead. This helps of course, but the game gets very hard very soon nontheless.

Re: Idealism
The essay (or as far as I got into it on a sunday morning) was actually pretty exciting reading... I like the way he thinks.
