Save Princess Pearl!
Roll down slopes and avoid pits and walls to maintain speed.
"A" to jump.
"B" while in the air to bounce, which sends you downward and rebounds you up again much higher than a jump. Use this to clear higher walls and maintain your momentum by avoiding obstacles.
Hold "Down" to drop and curl into a ball that will increase your speed while rolling down slopes. Holding down also prevents rebounding from a bounce.

Controller and Keyboard supported. (Xbox A = A, Xbox B = B)

Keyboard controls:

Select = P
Start = Enter
A = Space, Q or U.
B = Shift, ctrl, E or O.
D-pad = WASD, IJKL or Arrow keys

There's so much to this game I love it, each run I'm discovering more ways to go even faster by using the bounce and down-press in combination - both great mechanics! I've found the bounce to be useful in going up slopes. Even if you don't have much speed before ascending the slope, you can start jumping and bouncing to reach the top much faster, which is awesome. Great work!!
