Superb. What a fun set of ideas you've included in this small nugget of a game, and it just kept surprising me all the way through to the end. 9/10, only falling short because of the slightly anticlimactic ending.

10/10 Would install malware again!

I loved this. I'm amazed you got this done within 48 hours. If you are considering continuing work on this, I'd say do it!

Loved the presentation! I have a very small table so I suffered a lot with the controls, but I had a lot of fun!

What a clever idea for a game, great work. Presentation was on point too. I did have some troubles getting the hang of the controls but had a bunch of fun playing. Awesome job!

Such a great idea! I was attempting t do it with my trackpad and... well... I would by a mouse to play this the right way. Great job!

Haha yeah it's pretty much impossible to play without a proper mouse, sorry about that! I'll add that to the description

untethered. Any help?

There's a glitch at the end, sorry about that! You're supposed to have the mouse available to help you cross the gap, but unfortunately the mouse disappears if you die in the latter half of the gap, or if the mouse ever gets stuck off camera. Sorry! 😭

(but you pretty much reached the end of the game, so don't worry about missing out on anything)

Kudos to you btw, I had a great time nonetheless :D

Amazing! Game got me smiling right at the start. Unique idea, good presentation, and nice music (including the meme songs). I liked the idea of using the right click menu to build a platform.
