Boundaries of Truth
...and yes, I admit it - it was this Knytt rip-off that triggered me to remember writing about it in the first place.
Well, rip-off might be too strong a characterization, but it does borrow an awful lot of stuff from Knytt. But I fail to see how this can be a negative thing, so if you can't play Nifflas games (no windows machine), or you want to spend a few careless minutes at the office (for shame!), try this one for size!
My only criticism would be that you get a speedup pickup early in the game, and this tends to make the character a bit uncontrollable, but oh whattahell it adds to the challenge a bit.
Oh yeah, when you die, you get a very cool screen melt effect - I liked it :)
