Well... thanks to an excellently simple wrapper program called Bubblewrap by @timbo_jay on twitter, I'm now offering a VERY simple way to play Episode 1 on Windows, with all of the included necessary files.

Download zip, extract, run the Life is 2-D Episode 1 Chrysalis .exe - and that's it. Controls should be the same as the browser based version as far as I'm aware! I may do the other three current Episodes.
