I didn't have a problem jumping over the jump pads like some people did, but when falling through the platforms, sometimes I would accidentally hit the jump pad and bounce up. Maybe not having the jump pads directly under the platforms could help with that? I played a few times and eventually just completely ignored the ladders since just using the jump pads and platforms were faster and you can get to any floor by using them.
My high score is $3500 :) Fits the theme perfectly and was a lot of fun to play!
