You use A to jump. You can jump infinitely, but once you touch the ceiling, you fall. Arrows move your character. When the game rewinds, you can press ESC to skip it.

The game plays in reverse. This means that it begins from the end credits and you 'unplay' the levels, which makes some pretty cool things possible. The thing that makes playing difficult is that you must avoid creating impossible situations. For example, if you start from the end and try to get to the beginning, touching an enemy would mean that you died without even being at the start of the level. There are 5 ways to create an impossible situation:

1) Falling from too high. When looked backwards, falling from a long distance would mean that you jumped that same distance up, so you may only fall a distance that would be jumpable if the game was played normally.

2) Touching an enemy. This was explained up there. You can jump on the enemies once, since then you 'unkill' them, but once they start moving, touching them creates an impossible situation.

3) 'Uncollecting' too many coins. When the level ends, you've collected a certain amount of coins, and you must make sure that you uncollect them all, not more or less.

4) 'Uncollecting' too few coins. Check the one above.

5) Trying to 'uncollect' the same coin twice. When looked normally, this would mean you'd touch a coin but not collect it!

So, the idea in each level is to get to the end and go outside of the play area, as well as uncollect the coins you have. If you create an impossible situation, the game rewinds to the beginngn (or end) of the level.
