Have Fun.

I've always though this one was pretty fun

buttons (since I don't think it lists them on the site) z jumps, x shoots

A while back I played a game that was almost exactly like that one only with pretty nice graphics and a great soundtrack, same concept of death at every step though. Can't remember what it is now......

edit: got it! http://kayin.pyoko.org/iwbtg/

such a great game!
