Cow in the Shaft

Cow in the Shaft is a side scroller where player controls cow to climb down the level. Although cow moves downward instead of upward, It has similar mechanics to Icy Tower. Player uses left and right arrow keys to move cow onto the platforms coming from the bottom.

There is no finish in this game. Player loses when cow falls down (below the level screen) or loses health. When cow stands on the platform that is going up, platform vanishes and cow falls but the game continues - cow loses part of its health. There are various platforms - orange (that make cow lose health with each move), green (that regenerate cow's health), standard platforms and "moving" platforms (that move cow to either right or left when standing on it).

There are four difficulty levels: "for kids", "try it", "be a man", "forget it". The main difference is speed of platforms going upwards.
