Pretty cool, but very annoying when the back button doesn't work on samsung/android devices.

sorry about that, I disabled it since I was accidentally hitting it on my phone but I agree it is annoying.

Doesn't work on desktop either

it should work on desktop, does anything render or do you get a blank screen?

Author here. I started this when the original comic was released in 2012 but it fell by the wayside. Recently I decided to pick up where I left off. It was interesting to take my own legacy coffeescript code from a time in which I didn't really know what I was doing and try to make it into something fun.

Code is here:

Thanks for any feedback!

This has weirded me out, as I have a recurring dream where I can fly by repeat jumping, and when I wake up from such a dream I start to question whether that is a real-life thing for a minute or so.

Very intriguing game.

I think that's the best part. It was fun just jumping down a pit and then flying out of it to explore some more. I had to stop playing because I'm at work and all. But, looking around seems pretty fun.
