Nightmare
In this game, if you are at bottom, you can just die if you jump from left to right (and the other way around). In fact, you can die by nearly everything you do.But this game offers variety...each level has to be won differently, in the one you just have to jump from one bar to another, in another one you have to kill enemies and in another one you have to get something.
