"You Only Get One"
..Button!
(and life)

You must only use the SPACEBAR to navigate through the levels to get to the end!

Playtime: ~30 mins

This game is pretty difficult (i think, ive been playing it for 2 days so that could affect it) but there are only 9 or so levels + the SUPER SECRET AWESOME ENDING! :D

Thanks everyone! can't wait to see all the other entries!

A good start - well done.

After a while, a found it a bit frustrating waiting for the crate to reach the correct angle. I'm wondering if you could either speed up the rotation, or allow the player to change the speed. Allowing the player to do it might be tricky with only having the one button, but maybe they could set the speed before they start the game.

Thanks for the input!

Yes I agree it gets kinda tedious. I did think about adding that option, but I figured anything faster than this would be too hard to aim. I tested it many times before coming up with this speed, which I think is just about perfect.

Fair enough.

One more suggestion... Rather than using the mouse to click 'Play', you could have the player press 'Space' to start, so you keep within the theme of 'You only have one [key]'.
