About

The game is a platformer with some puzzle elements. You take control of a ball which is genetically modified by the British secret service. Your mission is to rescue captured British soldiers from a prison in Iran. The game was written in 72 hours for the TINS competition, a competition similar to Speedhack. The name TINS is an recursive acronym for 'TINS is not Speedhack'.
