Freeware Game Pick: Rescue - The Beagles (Nenad)
Rescue: The Beagles is a new platformer by the developer of Counterclockwise and Ablation, where the objective is to save the required number of dogs from the hands of evil researchers in each stage to progress. Press the up arrow key to jump or climb upwards, which is only applicable if your character can reach the platform above him or her. Press the down arrow key to descend downwards, or tap the same button twice in quick succession to use a parachute when you have at least one in possession. You lose a life if you fall from too high of a height, touch a red lip balm or allow a beagle to go unrescued.
Press the up arrow key twice to use a rope. Ropes are among some of the items which can be collected as you make your way forward in search of more beagles. Press the Z key or space key to throw an owl at enemies, and use the P key to pause the game. (more information in the readme.txt file, included with the download)

Fun game, at first confusing until I realized I had to use the rope and parachute.

Will try this one later. I've heard Rich's music, and it's excellent!

Are those owls related to TIGSource's Owl Country in some way?

Owls are awesome, period.
And this game is the goddamn awesomesaucer.
Also, can only get to level 5.

So glad to have gotten a chance to do music for this project ... once you get the hang of the controls it's seriously addictive.
