How to play
There are two mailboxes, and your goal is to deliver as much mail as possible between them. Since the main route is blocked, you'll have to find other ways around the level.
You gain a penalty every time you deliver a letter. Penalties will effect your platforming abilities and physics, and you can only have 3 at a time. If you get another penalty after already having 3, then you can choose which penalty to switch with the new one.
You lose the letter when you take damage. When that happens, you have a total of 15 seconds (depending on which penalties you have) to get it back or else its game over. The timer will not reset until the current mail is delivered.
Controls
