We resolve, hands on hearts, never to fault the Royal Mail ever again.

For years we've been attributing the lateness of our Christmas cards to basic incompetence. Turns out the delay is actually due to all the crushing boulders and predator-infested gullies our postman must traverse on his morning rounds.

The grisly realities of modern mail delivery come as a nasty shock to Finwick, a big-booted student looking for cash work between semesters. In SmallGreenHill's gentle, beautiful platform-puzzler, you must guide the lad safely from letterbox to letterbox.

Use the arrow keys to move, space bar to jump. Each puzzle screen is a graceful assemblage of spring pads, ladders, rope swings, door switches, enemy spawn points and, of course, platforms. The difficulty curve is absolutely spot on.

The full game's $5.99, but the first 25 levels are freely available for browser play. Quality run-and-jumpers of yore include the gory Vox Populi, Vox Dei, embittered Time Cfuk and haunting Beacon.
