A simple but compelling little game, using your four predetermined jump arcs to leap over hazards as your stickman runs forward of their own accord. Involves some seriously tricky timing, no thanks to the Clickteam hitboxes that encompass your whole sprite -- you're likely to trip after landing because the running animation touches a hazard, one that the landing animation safely avoided...!
You can't 'buffer' inputs to act as soon as you regain control, which is especially tricky in the later levels where precise timing is crucial. It's frustrating to hit a roadblock, but all the more satisfying to clear it -- and all the more amusing when random misfortune like the winged frog does you in.
