Go On Without Me! by Paul Merkamp
Follow the endings of three fascinating stories as old as time, but you are the one holding the gate open at the end! Please, sir! Go on without me! I'll be fine!!!!!
I believe this might be my first game that is all fun and fair and funny. If you choose to play it, I hope you enjoy!!

When you introduce the Toggle buttons, when they are off, I can't tell their color... maybe give them a border?

the story and gameplay are nice, but are also a bit frustrating.
I will say that the difficulty is quite high. I thought I could get away with using a trackpad, and did so for level 1, but definitely needed the mouse for level 2. Level 3 had more to keep track of, but I ended up getting it in one try (after spending twenty minutes on the previous level).
The story is simple and fun. Three worlds of sci-fi/fantasy tropes start up their portals to save all (but one) of their crew. The animation across the top is amusing, although I sometimes wish I could watch it with more than my peripheral vision while I push buttons! And the sheer number of lore drawings you put in is impressive, and while they were obviously made in a hurry to be finished in 48 hours, they get the point across well enough.
I liked the music, and especially the way each story had its own theme that played differently during the gameplay and the game over screen.
Nice work - your games are different every event and it's always a pleasure to play them. Hope to see you again for LD50!
