What's this, all power ups and no enemies? Possibly, but not all collectibles are created equal. Grab the goodies and avoid the stinkers, and remember, they only last TEN SECONDS!
How to play: Use the arrow keys or WASD to run and jump through 20 levels of fun (and possibly frustration). "R" will reset the level via suicide. Escape to return to menu. Numpad + and - for volume.
Code: Paul Newsham (@GrimUpNorthish) and Bob Haigh. Art: Bob Haigh and Graham Hepplestone. Music: AutoTracker.py Sounds: Paul and Bob, via some SFXR face-smashing.
Made using HaxeFlixel, SFXR, AutoTracker, and GraphicsGale.
Very fun. At first I was like, just another platformer. Then I got to my first power up and then it got even more fun. Awesome power ups and level design. Very lengthy for a ludum dare entry also.
A great platformer! The idea of "not all powerups are good" tickles my OCD-sense though (I gotta get them all). I like graphics, especially for the powerups. I did not played through it all, but it seems like you also have plenty of levels, which means plenty of fun is still waiting to be had. Good job!
Thanks everyone! BTW, if anyone can finish level 19, post a screenshot please! We managed each individual section but we haven't seen anyone manage it in one go. It's designed to be a killer!
Was really cool, never seen so many powerups in my life. Good job on excel sheet thing too, never heard of that either. Overall really nicely done. Good job.
Well, we got to level 20 and beat it, but we might not have got there in quite the expected way...if you catch my drift. I won't explain what we did here so that it's not ruined.
I still want to go back and beat 19 though. That sick, sick torture chamber of a level.

Great mechanics, and so many levels for a short time! I had loads of fun with this! nice way of expressing the theme! Addictive!! :D
It's great to see so many positive comments, thanks guys!
@SnoringFrog you can blame Bob for that level, I actually had to persuade him to remove a load of fast time powerups that made it even worse!

the game was smooth and creative! one thing to point out is that you get smashed under platforms XD i think that's a feat in its self. you should check it out :P
Nice platformer. Lots of levels, which is awesome. I wish it had checkpoints, though. Some of the deaths right in front of the exit where very frustrating ;)
Great level design and tight platforming controls! That was a pretty challenging game and using powerups as difficulty shifts is a nice mechanic. Super fun to play!
Got to level 15. The variety of powerups and different things to do is great! This one could have worked for the "strange powerups" theme too (or whatever it was called).
Come on, man! Up to level 18 was OK, but 19 is just devilish! I liked this game a lot! I like how music switches on certain levels and how some sound effects are changed when using certain power ups. =)
Lovely variety of levels and mechanics.There is scope here for a really interesting expanded version, perhaps with some more interesting hazards and enemies. Good work!
Not extremely original (though short-term power-ups are a neat idea), but a very good and substantial version of those extremely-hard puzzle platformers. The retro graphics are nice, especially the background. Cute title screen. Well coded and all around polished.
Turned out to be a bit hard for me, though: I gave up on level 19. Also, the controls seem a bit floaty (even if you haven't got the Low Gravity power-up). Nevertheless, very good work.
Wow! Thats really fun... Great leveldesign! Got to level 19 quite into the insides, didn't finish yet, will return to it. Levels 17 and after are H.A.R.D. :D
This game is extremely engaging! I really enjoyed the level design and how all the power ups worked. The music was pretty good as well. The only thing is that the graphics are a bit boring, but animations are nice and smooth.

Good job on the level design, when you start mixing the PwUp, it becomes really fun.
Also, being able to stack power-ups felt great! :)
My only complaint is the screen size... it's way too big... but that's only my opinion. xD
