Inspired by the popular game Your task is to guide the character through a vertical labyrinth full of various obstacles.

As you progress through the various levels, you will encounter increasing difficulty and new challenges such as Jumping platforms and obstacles.

Controls & how it runs

[ WASD ] - Move [ Space ] - Jump [ E ] - Relocate to check point Just keep moving up and you will reach the end (I hope so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Pro tips for platform cabinets

• Jump from the very edge. Platform cabinets measure your takeoff in pixels, and the last two pixels of a ledge are the difference between a clear gap and a short fall.
• Learn the landing, not the jump. Air control differs per cabinet, but the habit transfers: plan where you'll land before you ever leave the ground.
• Checkpoints change the maths. Once one is banked, spend the next stretch experimenting — bold attempts are free when the reset point is ten seconds behind you.
