Gameplay
The game seems to mix elements from Flashback and the Commodore 64 classic "Sacred Armor of Antiriad".
The game's option screen is well hidden on the low contrast teleporter screen right after the title screen, push 
and START to access it. 
is for jumping, 
is for physical attacks while 
uses the powersuit's glove to operate devices or release an electrical rope which can be used for climbing, descending or even as a projectile. Crouching and thereafter pushing 
or can be used for rolling.
There are golden nodes throughout the game that activate special abilities. These include the power to swing on ropes as seen in Spiderman by pushing and holding again in mid-air and a temporary length boost for the electrical rope. There's a glitch which makes it possible to pass through walls and doors by swinging through them.
Progress is recorded through checkpoints and passwords. Health is restored by standing on healing platforms. Special items such as homing projectiles, energy shields etc. can be found hidden throughout the stages behind heavy steel doors.
Later on you gain the ability to warp between areas, making the game pseudo-nonlinear, although the game's short length doesn't allow to make extensive use of it.
