There are bugs, I didnt get to make the level that it was named after, but I'm still proud of it. \r\n\r\nMy theme interpretation was that a tiny world is a small world, and it's a small world after all. So the four levels are themed after Disney attractions, and the fifth level would've been the Tower of the Four Winds (tower in front of the small world ride.)\r\n\r\nAlso my computer does not have an older version of Java, nor will Firefox allow me to download it, so for now atleast the game is a standalone application.\r\n\r\nControls: w,a,s,d to move.
