GOTY 2010? Seems so.

It's pretty much a 1000-screen C64 platformer with modern game design sensibilities, awesome music, and Metal Storm-style gravity flipping.

Free demo at Kongregate

Where's the 2 minute load times?

Reminds me of a more frenetic Shift:

This game is like the hardest 5 seconds of gameplay of your life ... forever. Fortunately, there are checkpoints every 7 seconds. It starts out easy-peasy but quickly ramps up into NIGHTMARE MODE. But the good kind of nightmare!

Beat it! Endgame stats under the spoiler tags:

That's one death every 8.5 seconds. RIDE 'EM COWBOY!

It might seem a bit short, but as the game is LITERALLY all-killer-no-filler (and $15) I am willing to cut it some slack.

There are some post-game options too:

Time Trials, finding all the trinkets, the SUPER GRAVITRON survival chamber, and vertical flip mode

One of the best gaming experience I've had in months.

Yeah, I bought the soundtrack for $4 from http://souleye.madtracker.net/

That's $19 I've given back to the indie game community today!

Game costs €10???  :lol

Waaaay too much for a flash game. It's also way too short with no replay value at all.

Does it recognize gamepads? I only had a chance to play the flash demo.

Just use the "JoyToKey" -app

Should work. Worked with all the games so far.
