Interesting take on the theme! I was very, very confused in the first level and then I realized you could jump through windows and land on text!!1!1!! That feeling of realization was really nice, it made the entire game feel just like you're exploring through some uncharted land or something. The gameplay was overall very nice, but it did get a little bit repetitive after the first 10 or so levels.

- I loved everything about this submission! The puzzle platforming was super clever design, and I loved that there was a story going on in the background as well.
- By far the most creative take on the theme I've seen so far! Out of the box! Took a heck of a lot of thinking even in the early stages, which is good! Good pacing with integrating new mechanics and lots of fun.
- The concept of the game is really interesting. Using the email windows as platforms is an interesting way to mix platforming and puzzles, however you are able to move position locked windows by resizing them.
- One of the best games I played. Such a unique new innovation & style using emails as a platformer. I love the visual style and responsiveness/smoothness of the player. Great job!
How does the game fit into the theme?
Forwarded By is a unique puzzle platformer with a story that is built around the theme. Taking an atypical approach to "Keep Moving Forward," the player manipulates the environment to move through platforms of emails, only proceeding once they reach the forward button. In addition to the journey of moving forward, you are traveling through the lost digital memories of a laptop left by a stranger on a train.
