Scratch

I have decided to host my first ever contest!    The goal: wall jumping.
Here is the definition of wall jumping: the ability for a character to cling onto a wall, move slowly down, and be able to jump off. I have seen tons of great platformer projects, but not one with wall jumping. Wall jumping is one of the most prevalent concepts in a platformer, but it has never manifested itself in a Scratch project.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have decided to fix that.

I bring you all a challenge: create a game utilizing wall jumping. It must fit the definition above. No, Cube World's "climbing" is not allowed. The ability of a sprite to "stick" anywhere (ex: ceiling; floor not included) in the level is considered cheating and will automatically disqualify the entry. The entry can be an engine, a demo, or a game (BONUS if it's a game) utilizing the concept of wall jumping. The wall jumping MUST work with all walls in the game. The competitors must comment in this post to be considered for the contest. It would also be a bonus if 1) the entry is realistic and 2) the concept is extended. The top five entries will receive love-its on all of their creators' projects and a proposal for their contest entry to get featured. The five runnerups will receive a love-it on some of their projects. Remember: this isn't just for fun and fame. It's for a revolution in platformers! So what are you waiting for? Deadline is Apr. 3, 2010! (no longer Mar. 27, 2010) Start working! 

UPDATE #1: Wall jumping must be animated. Also, remixes are NOT allowed.
UPDATE #2: Engines and demos are now permitted.
