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...

Great game! Such a classic feel and it was extra fun accidentally finding the secrets.
Many ingenious puzzles to make use of the different items. Here is my best so far:
Has anyone found all 15 pineapples? Like @bigjus I'm missing one on level 2.
