Where is the web version?

The web version wasn't loading in-browser and I'm unsure how to fix it - I tried to update this page but it looks like the changes didn't go through. It's available for download as a windows or mac app

Nice music and gameplay mechanic, a little to hard for me (i'm too slow :D). very cool intro / story and artstyle.

I can't get past the second "SPACE STORY" Really enjoyed what I played though. STRONG atmosphere here!

When you introduce the Toggle buttons, when they are off, I can't tell their color... maybe give them a border?

It took me 20-30 trys to get past the 2nd stage and gave up at the last. the toggle buttons not keeping their color in some way is the most annoying part. also in the last level naming the colors sky and navy instead of dark and light blue didn't work that well for my brain. gave up there after another 20 trys. the story and gameplay are nice, but are also a bit frustrating.

Fun entry!

I will say that the difficulty is quite high. I thought I could get away with using a trackpad, and did so for level 1, but definitely needed the mouse for level 2. Level 3 had more to keep track of, but I ended up getting it in one try (after spending twenty minutes on the previous level).

The story is simple and fun. Three worlds of sci-fi/fantasy tropes start up their portals to save all (but one) of their crew. The animation across the top is amusing, although I sometimes wish I could watch it with more than my peripheral vision while I push buttons! And the sheer number of lore drawings you put in is impressive, and while they were obviously made in a hurry to be finished in 48 hours, they get the point across well enough.

I liked the music, and especially the way each story had its own theme that played differently during the gameplay and the game over screen.

Nice work - your games are different every event and it's always a pleasure to play them. Hope to see you again for LD50!
