- Abuses programming errors in the game
- Genre: Platform
This game is a platformer about a purple alien shape-shifter named Widget. Along with being able to turn into a few different animals to run faster or get through small passageways, he has the power to zip through walls, shoot at ridiculous rates, and find doors where there were no doors before!

..all the while, keeping that creepy, stupid grin on his face.

This is an improvement of 793 frames (~13 seconds) over the author's previous run.

An in-depth explanation of the routes and glitches used in this movie can be found in the submission text.
