12	%% * {{Automaton Horse\|s}}: It never misses a step.
13	* EasyLevelTrick: There's nothing forcing you to challenge yourself. You can get the copter into perfect sync with the wagon from just pixels above it, click five times to beat the level, and continue racking up points in this way indefinitely.
14	* GravityScrew: A helpful readout informs you of the Earth's current mass, eg. NORMAL, HEAVY, or OH BOY.
15	* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Later versions expand the gameworld to fit any size of monitor--and even from miles in the air, the haywagon is enough to ensure a safe landing.
16	* ScoringPoints: The point is to earn as many points as possible based on the height of your jumps.
17	%% * VictoryPose: A backflip.
18	* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: Despite it resulting in an instant GameOver, many players prefer to drop the stuntman onto the horse or driver.
