Hi everyone,

Pole Station is a short, linear, 2bit color platformer with secrets!

Goal

Navigate through the levels and find the exit to the next stage. The first five stages each contain three secret pineapples (15 secrets in total). Collecting minerals protects you from one hit (except for freezing water). If you are protected by minerals, your boots will turn white. If you collect more than 25 minerals, you will receive a 1-up.

Controls

Walk with the left and right arrow keys / D-pad
Use Up or Down to climb ladders
Press Z to jump
Press X to use the current item or break crates
Pressing Down lets you duck and crawl
Press Down and Jump on blue platforms to jump down

Tips & Hints

Some striped blocks are vulnerable to drills
Some bots can be killed by jumping on their heads
Try walking into walls - you never know what you may discover...
