You work for the IRS -- the Itty-bitty Robot Squad! Your job is to collect tacks.

Watch out for hazards around the office as you pick up the loot. Slow down, speed up, and jump to make your way from desk to desk as long as you have energy left!

How to play


* Collect as many tacks as possible before time runs out.
* Colliding with hazards loses tacks and energy. Watch for falling light bulbs!
* Falling to the floor loses a lot of energy. Be careful!
* Pick up batteries to recharge.
* Coyote time and double jumps are available.

Controls


Keyboard and touch controls supported.

* Jump: Space bar / Jump button (left side)
* Double-Jump: Space bar / Jump button while in the air
* Run Slower: Left arrow / Slow button (right side)
* Pause: Escape / Pause button
