Gakkul drops you into a adventure challenge you can start in a couple of seconds. It works the same on desktop, tablet and phone, and your progress picks up where the game left it.
About Gakkul
Gakkul is a 2D platformer where you play as a boy who have to collect mangoes from the gardens while avoiding the garden owners, and traps like spikes, and pins and reach the yellow flag in order to go to the next level. There are 8 levels to play and the difficulty increases as you proceed. Controls: Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for the player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key twice for double jump.
How to play Gakkul
The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.

Why it is worth playing
Gakkul is the kind of game that fits into a gap between other things. Two minutes is a real session, and so is an hour. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
