This is a one-button game with two actions:
When you PRESS any key you jump.
When you LET GO of the button you use your special power.

There are 32 collectables hidden about in nooks and crannies. Some of them are very hard to get!

Get them all to make it onto the Hall of Fame. Are YOU up to the challenge?

Really innovative take on the theme! I was having a lot of fun, but I managed to get entirely stuck at one point in the level. I love the art style and the flipping animations.

Hard game, good buy frustrating.

WHOA! I really enjoyed playing this. I was confused at first, but it all became very intuitive. GREAT JOB!

gimblll

Really really hard.

Wow, great idea. The problem is, that it's much too hard, because it's just too fast. If it was slower and would, say, inidcate a "you're using special power XY now" icon to add a small delay, it might be less confusing. I don't know. A shame that it's soo hard.

Cool. The graphics are simple but they show everything clearly. The transition effects make it easy to understand how each new power works.

Having a power that changes is an interesting take on one-button controls that I haven't seen before - I liked it.

crackerblocks

great concept, but now my brain hurts.

Entar

Crazy, I love the idea! It's difficult, could maybe use a little polish and slow it down a smidge, but it's a great start.

Looks cool. Good concept. Bit annoying to play.

Doches

This is intense, and clever, and (frankly) excruciating to play. I really, really want to like it -- but it's so damned hard!

Great stuff here, though. Great stuff.

I think it was a bit too frustrating, very confusing, and the special power didn't seem very consistent (it didn't launch every time I let go of the button).

increpare

hah; that worked pretty well actually - took me a little while to figure things out

Wiering

Very hard.
