The game was super cute, and I appreciated the effort put in to change up the graphics on every level. The axolotl was also a very cute touch. I think that while the game was good, there was a lot of missing potential. Like, I think it would be really cool if the environments played a greater purpose beyond theming. It seems like a perfect environment to have things get more interactive. Like maybe jumping on a shortcut opening up a new window you can use as a platform.

Thanks for the game!

Neat! Alhough it is quite simple and short I really enjoyed it! :) Nice job!

This was adorable. I want a glitcholotl or whatever he is. I also had an invisibility bug on the last level, where I disappeared unless I was jumping. But bugginess kinda fits the game - I assumed it was intentional :D

Only critique: I made it to the end of a level (I think it was the Win 95 one?) only to realize that I missed something and had to drop all the way down. It'd be nice to have a glitch counter so you know how many you're missing.

really cool game, I love how you got the feel of the different windows to the way you represent the characters! I had the invisibility bug on the very last level, but i could see myself when I moved so I just completed while jumping. But really good idea and amazing implementation

Hi, really cool idea, but I don't understand what to do in first level after I get all collectables :(
So idea is really interesting.

Very cool idea, nice work!! Maybe I am missing something, but I couldn't see the upload button on the first level?

hmm. Html5 seems to be having different effects on different computers
