About this build
Five independently authored rooms use the selected developer-released Glider 4 flight, collision, collection and room-transition code, translated to JavaScript. Original procedural graphics, animation and text replace the original campaign and media. This is a small source port with original content, not a decompilation, emulation or a certified clean-room reconstruction. It is silent and requires no ROM or original game files.

Ordinary keyboard five-room completion, collected token and native score/progression; both-direction steering, pause, native floor loss and New flight reset.

Saves
Save room stores your current room, lives, earned score, visited rooms and collected tokens under paper-rooms-v1 on this origin/profile. Wait for Room checkpoint saved. Restore begins at that room’s entrance, not the exact flight position. New flight keeps the durable checkpoint; Stop does not save unsaved progress. Clearing site data removes saves; no import/export.
