"Stairs to heaven in 6,22KB" competition!

Inspired by few videos posted in comments I would like to announce a little competition. Rules are as simple as possible: play my "StHi6,22KB" game, make a video from it (using your mobile, camera or just record part of your desktop using programs like CamStudio) with your result visible, upload it on any video-hosting site like Youtube or Vimeo and put the link in the comments on 10k Apart site (here) before 25 of August. I will prepare two truly unique "Stairs to heaven in 6,22KB" T-shirts - one for the owner of the best result and one for the randomly chosen participant (e.g. by 'true random numbers generator - random.org). So, good luck and I'm waiting for your videos!

My best try (of course it doesn't count):

10K Apart competition

In the early '90, when I had my first contact with computers, I don't even heard about Cd-roms, or other freaky inventions like hard discs. I had 2 floppy stations, 3.5' and 5.25', with that 'bigger' (by size, no capacity) all the time busy with DOS disk, so everything I had was only 1.44MB. My favorite games then were Prince of Persia (yes, that one from top of this blog) and King's Quest (I finish it first time in my life after almost 18 years of playing, couple months ago on Sarien, online canvas versions of Sierra games).
Today I felt a gust of those days. 'An Event Apart' organized crazy web-app competition called 10K Apart with two main rules: total file size, including images, scripts and markup, must be under 10K and app must work in IE9, Firefox and WebKit browsers.
After about 8 hours of developing two games and bugfixing one annoying webportal simultaneously, let me introduce Stairs to heaven in 6,22KB.

Enjoy and don't forget to click '5 stars' on 10kA site:).
