Like many entries Chrome tried its damnedest to stop me playing this.
Ran fine without unpacking, good work on the packaging.
The splash screen is LOL.
Nice use of a humorous concept, though I don't see how it relates to "connected worlds". I'll give you a 3 for that anyway.
Music and sound are respectable.
Graphics are adequate.
The use of mechanics like inverting your controls when you're not paying attention is genius. I legitimately had fun trying to work it out.
Overall, good work, tidy up your art/sound and you'll go far.

Pretty good idea, but pretty difficult and unforgiving. The yellow zones make the game feel boring, and sometimes the purple ones didn't work. I went back down instead of through the tubes once after starting and skipped the last level.
Music is interesting and sound effects are pretty good.

Humorous game, and some interesting twists on the different panels.
I thought all panels of the same color were supposed to work the same, but I found out they didn't the hard way :)

Fun and tough. It was very disorienting (in a fun way) when switching between purple and another colour.

The pacing is done really well. The new colors are introduced at just the right time and do not become overwhelming. Great job!

Simple, yet effective gameplay.

I had some problems with bugs (as others said) the purple one was not always working, and sometimes the red tube would kill me before I got through, but sometimes not.

Lol! You can pass the level just by going left :D
Not the easiest game and overall pretty interesting combinations of tubes.
Good job!
