Prison Escape by Tyren
Official Walkthrough: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnmgcEGvRfM
Story:
You have been found guilty of destroying an entire planet. They have locked you in a maximum
security prison deep in space. The day before your scheduled execution, you receive a cake
from an unknown "friend". As you mutter that the cake really isn't a lie, you bite into something
and drop the cake.
A red key card falls out of the cake and you realize this is the key to your door. If you
are ever going to survive, you must escape now. However, the high tech security system detects
the key and goes into lock down. The artificial gravity is immediately disabled and you now
have 60 seconds before all of the air is pumped from each floor. You must descend the tower
and reach the exit!

Levels 1 and 2 can be quite handily beaten without the thruster, but the in 3 it actually gets in the way if used incorrectly. I like that you showed restraint and not added spikes all over the place like some other "hard" games. Hard but not too hard and mercifully short given the single life.
Good music, home made?
but pretty fun too! ;)
