Play as supervillain Internet Explorer as you travel back in time to destroy the competition and take back the web! Featuring six epic boss battles and great music by __twc.
Press F to go full screen and experience the MS Paint HD graphics!
Also 5 stars for theme because this is really what the theme category is about: Good interpretations of the theme. :D
Even though the jumping on platforms stuff is fairly simple and not that fun by itself, I still really enjoyed this game, because of the music and humour
Fun + hilarious = Awesome :-) Also, is it just me or was Opera hard to beat back in the day!!! Wow, don't know how many times it got me! p.s. I've fixed my game since your review <nudge, nudge> :-D
WIN! Final score 26550 :) Starts out looking like a crappy game with like 2 levels but it just keeps going and the music is pretty sweet. Wait till you get to Firefox... hahahaha
This is the funniest game i've played in this ludum dare, i started laughing before even playing the game XD that was awesome ! Blue screen of victory !
A great take on the theme! The MS Paint graphics make it easy to miss that there is actually a rock-solid game here.
The platforming bit was a bit repetitive, but the boss battles were great and really had progressive difficulty (except Mozilla who was too easy). I would really have loved to see the ending but didn't have the patience to beat Chrome, who is just mean. I didn't really notice the music until I found my head bobbing in the rhythm. Oh, and did I mention it's hilarious? The intro, the safari hat and the opera mask cracked me up.
Five out of five on everything but innovation (because at heart it's still a platformer!).
I like how this game, just like Zed's one, manage (thanks to their humor) to make me enjoy basic gameplays that are usually boring. I also like how you didn't even try to make it hard and let us players run through the game and have fun. This is a solid entry!
ahahah great story, awesome endin! I don`t think safari should be in south america, It should have been in Africa, I guess... Also, when you respawn, monsters don`t respawn, so it just becomes a lonely walk to the point where you died.
Hilarious, great interpretation of the theme :) The graphics might be misleading, cause this is actually a pretty solid-feeling platfomer.
A suggestion to make it better is to invest some time in level design to create interesting challenges as you play through. The humor itself is worth it, but some variation on the levels would be great. Good job!
This is great. Love the intro. Great choice of music.
Gameplay and level-design could be tightened a bit though. Most platforms being near the top is bad, as is the player jumping out. THe projectile moving at the same rate as the player is peculiar, at least. I also didn't like the platforms and evemies being build so ou essentially blind-jump into it.
Some diversity in level-design would be fun and easy too. Not every level has to have a "chasm", some could be flat.
Still, awesome work!
(also how did this get 50k plays? Is that normal for a flash-game on newgrounds? :P )

Nice parkour levels and the story line is great. Good job!
@matthias_zarzecki It got 50k plays because it was featured on the front page for about a week. Tom from Newgrounds really likes LD games, he'll feature all the decent submissions (flash or html5) right after the compo.
Nice treatment with the little safari-hat in the Safari stage. :)
Also, nice easter egg when you click the "x" button on the score view!
The fact that you're playing as one of the most reviled browsers in the history of the web really makes this much more thematically appropriate than I would have thought possible for such a simple game.

Yes. Yes to all of this. SO yes. Amazing graphics, too.
Brilliant! Simple, yet really fun. 5 stars for humor, loved the browser puns and the ending.

I had fun playing this, it was very humorous, but I did find restarting from the beginning very frustrating, along with the floaty jumping always screwing me up on the bosses. Other than that, great game.
This game is fun. While conceptually very simple, you want to continue playing just to see what crazy setting the next HQ involves. Hilarious concept all around.
Despite being totally STOOPID, I completely LOVED this game and smiled and laughed the whole way through it. Hell level would have been trippy if you could have animated the flames. Music soundtrack was kick-ass. I really liked this one. The "intentionally crappy" genre is so underrated.
Don't know whether to give five stars for graphics or 1 LOL Hilarious game with a rad soundtrack. The levels are very easy but the last 3 bosses can be a bit tough. Decent challenge and a great interpretation of the theme. Awesome ending!
hahaha Opera HQ
