'The kicker,' eh? 2 little 'islands' to the left and right of the initial elevator, hop onto them, the jump pads there should land you on the pillars ,in which you can kick off, some do seem to fall of normally, however.

Cool

I really love this challenge!

Presentation is great. Striking impressions as you exit the elevator.
Fun levels, that have just the right amount of puzzle-ness and difficulty to them to tickle the brain but leaves you feeling in control.

Great ideas but the game runs annoyingly slow on the 3rd and last (especially the last) level + The various platforms (i.e. the ones on the lava beds and the "cable-car"-style ones) aren't fully implemented so that they don't hinder gameplay e.g. destroyed by lava despite landing right in the middle of the landing platform (lvl4) and being shot unexpectedly fast (as in a lot faster than the moving/cable-car platforms own speed) so that one is,again, destroyed by lava.

Despite all, still quite enjoyable.
