999

On the surface, 999 is a typical puzzle platformer with 8-bit graphics: the player has to move towards the level exit without touching the many obstacles on the way. However, this game's specialty are the controls: the player character is not moved directly, but by drawing lines with the mouse. Then the character jumps depending on the length and direction of said line. The game name is derived from the feature list: 999 levels, 999 optional stars to collect and 999 lives.
