The status bar is visible in the bottom 16 pixels of the screen at all times during play. The coloured bar along the top represents how much time you have left, it is split into 256 pixels and one pixel is taken off every four frames of animation. Collecting a jelly bean restores 32 pixels (one whole section of colour) and walking into slime means you lose 4 pixels at a time. Below the time is information about the level you are playing, from left to right as follows: the level number, the number of diamonds required on this level, the number of diamonds already collected, the number of lives you have left, the direction of the gravity, how much longer gravity will be up for (set to 99 when a gravity "t" is collected, and 00 if gravity is down), and your score.
