Good find BlueSteel, its a nice concept.

I dont think it really works though. I was irritated after about 10 seconds. Navigation elements are about speed. I would think that many people would simply click on the arrow keys with the mouse, then just give up. If the user could also navigate with a mouse it would be a lot better.

Yes, that is a good find, I can't say I've seen anything like that before.

Its a good idea, not very practical though.

I think the biggest problem is the fact that once you've navigated to any page, you then need to use the mouse again, wouldn't be so bad if they'd used up for jump, but the site requires a two handed approach to controlling the guy.

Great idea, but flawed implementation.

yeah its not good for practical use but its pretty different.
