I think you absolutely nailed it regarding the vibe and aesthetic. Honestly: this feels a lot like the game I wanted to make, but mine didn't end up this good. You really tapped into that weird, sort of abstract '00s internet-as-a-physical-space feeling that is sort of the heart of this jam's theme to me and that I wanted to evoke. Kind of what I imagine as being like ReBoot only trippier. 

Gameplay wise -- I think there's a ton of variety here, the challenge felt well balanced, the platforming stuff felt well executed (usually platforming like this just frustrates me in these kinds of games but this felt well done). The enemy designs are great. I'm especially a fan of the amalgam of disembodied flickering images occasionally forming a face.

All in all, fantastic game, well done!!

Ummm, I don't get it...I like the little tv screens as enemies, that was well done.... I didn't understand what I was supposed to do....

I wanted to add a player guide as an intro screen but ran out of time toward the end. Grab all 3 keys and make it back to the tower you spawned in (other side has the white key door) is the overall objective, but if its that start you're stuck on you must climb up the red blocks to get inside the "castle" from above, there you will find the first yellow key and then can platform back up to the yellow door.
