General tips
You can double jump in the happiness state but only single jump in the angry state.
Your momentum carries over from one state to the next. If you double jump or jump from a high platform while happy (or both) then you will go into the angry state with a lot of momentum.
Anytime you bump into anything it lowers your momentum.
Dying
If you hit into spikes you die.
When you die you start at the beginning of the level you were on.
This game offers unlimited continues.
If you lose too much of your momentum and cannot move you can press the R key to restart the level.
Levels
This game has 18 stages.
Each stage has a pill on it you can collect.
You must collect a pill from each of the first 14 stages to unlock the final 4 levels. Pills are only counted as collected if you manage to collect them and survive to the next level while still holding them.
Final 4 levels
The final 4 levels of the game have blocks on them which can also move between anger and happiness.
You need to manipulate the positions of the blocks so you can use them as temporary platforms to avoid spikes and make jumps.
Target Audience
The game is suited for experienced gamers who like platforming games.
The game has no adult themed content.
