After ~24.8 days uptime, a blank red bar appears at the bottom of the screen: codo_main_draw compares signed SDL_GetTicks() against a popup expiry time of 0, which goes true once ticks pass 2³¹ ms.

Combine the clocks until there is only one clock showing 12 o'clock.
Features
- clocks
- blocks
- rocks
- a cute fox
- multiple puzzles
- play puzzles in any order
- share your solutions with other players and play through other players' solutions
- write your own puzzles and share with other people
- paste other people's puzzles into the game
Gameplay
You control the orange fox.
The fox can push the clocks and red function blocks around. The fox cannot push rocks.
When the fox pushes a function block between two clocks, the clocks and block combine to form a new clock. The hour of the new clock is calculated by the function of the block and the hours of the two clocks it was pushed between.
For example:
- Pushing an addition block between a clock showing 1 o'clock and a clock showing 3 o'clock will create a clock showing 4 o'clock.
- Pushing an addition block between 10 o'clock and 3 o'clock will create a clock showing 1 o'clock, because there are only 12 hours on a clock, and after 12 the hand goes round to 1 again.
- Pushing a subtraction block between 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock will create a clock showing 10 o'clock: 1-3 = -2, 12-2 = 10.
The goal of each puzzle is to end up with one clock showing 12 o'clock.
Note: division in clock arithmetic does not behave in the same way as normal arithmetic.

Writing Your Own Puzzles
A puzzle is a 64-character code that defines the cells in the game grid, from the top-left corner, down to the bottom-right corner. The first character defines the first cell of the top row, the second character defines the second cell of the top row, ... the ninth character defines the first character of the second row, ... and so on until the 64th character defines the 8th cell of the 8th row.
The characters in a level code have the following meaning:
- _ (underscore): Empty space
- #: Wall
- 1-9, a, b, c: A clock with the hour set to the value of the character interpreted as a hex digit. E.g. 1 means 1 o'clock, 2 means 2 o'clock, ... a means 10 o'clock, b means 11 o'clock, and c means 12 o'clock.
- +: Addition
- -: Subtraction
- *: Multiplication
- /: Division
0 (zero): The player's starting position
For example, this is the code for the first puzzle: ##1####_0+____####2##_*____#__b__###_/___#9#__##_-___##__#5__#__
Pasting a Puzzle into the Game
Before you can play a custom puzzle, you have to paste it into the game.
- Copy the code of the puzzle.
- Focus on the game
- Paste the puzzle into the game using your system's paste key stroke, or the browser's Edit>Paste menu item. If in the browser, you also have to press Control-V (on all platforms, even the Mac) to load the contents of the clipboard into the game.
- Select the last level slot in the level selector.
- Press the Z key to store the pasted level in that level slot.

Plays like Tetris but you must fulfill orders by creating equations which match the condition on the ticket.
As you play you'll unlock new operations and foods with different effects when added to dishes!

How long can you balance a broom on its end?
I recommend playing with a mouse (or touchscreen), but the arrow keys also work.
This is my entry for the PICO-1k Jam 2026! I made it in about 2 hours and it takes up only 974 compressed bytes. I'm pretty proud of it all things considered. Especially the fact I managed to sneak some music in there with some memory shenanigans. My personal best is 31 seconds.
