It is confirmed to work in Chrome.
You are put in a world made completely of fibers. The world is amiss because of a feud between your two grandmothers, the ultimate creators, about which creation technique (crocheting or knitting) is the better method. It's up to you to manipulate the fibers around you to reconnect them, and demonstrate that crocheting and knitting can work together harmoniously.
The Team:
Stephanie "Beep boop beep" Gu spends most of her time making water sound effects during playtests. She spends a little bit of time designing levels and squashing Ethan's desire to feature creep.
Ethan "Positivity-Man" Sherbondy spends most of his time debugging despite his passion for insects. When Stephanie gets scary, he tends to escape from the nearest window.
Turner "Champion Bug Fixer" Bohlen makes up a third of the team's tallest members. He is in constant battle with the every single one of the movable block bugs.
Daniel "You are wavering precariously" Martelly's favorite activity is giving Lili piggy back rides. His second favorite activity is probably refactoring code and putting menu buttons in the wrong spot.
Lili "Does anyone have chocolate" Sun can usually be found accidentally buyingtoo much not enough yarn. When not creating game art, Lili is probably forgetting all the powers of 2.
Jeff "Leave me alone I have a thesis to do" Prouty crawled out of his hole and created all of the beautiful sounds that come from the game in just one day.
