Great game

I love it! I got 5:58. Really great puzzles. I loved the way you introduced the new elements. It looks great! My only complaint is that quitting doesn't reset the video mode back to text mode and clear the screen haha.

Embarrassing 07:13 for the first try

Really cool entry, seems like .COM is the new Unity

Pretty neat puzzle game! Managed to finish with 3:51 at my first try.

I've always loved the funky CGA 4-colour palettes. Especially the gnarly CMWB palette (the high intensity palette 1). Although, they are definitely an "acquired taste".
