Toss'em Possum is an arcade-like 2D platformer where you control Tina Tossum, an evil witch who will stop at nothing for her love. Even if that means destruction of property, terrorizing the innocent and being a general pest to bird-society. Mix things up a little and bring some instruments to your cauldron to create the ultimate melody! What could possibly go wrong?

- Collect all instruments and points as fast as possible
General
The goal is to bring instruments back to the cauldron for the melody mixture, and collect all points on the map. You get instruments by killing Songbirds. Instruments warp to you after a bit, so you don't need to collect them right away.
I want to note that this isn't an "Any%" or "Maximum Score" run. To beat the demo, you only need to get a score of 200,000. And the maximum score is likely higher than what is achieved here, since bringing instruments to the cauldron will ignite it. While the cauldron is ignited, all points will be doubled. I only go to the cauldron after getting everything.
D lets you jump, and you can jump higher by holding the D button. Pressing it again in the air lets you double jump. Jumping at a wall lets you climb it.
S lets you pounce. You can pounce again in the air, but are only allowed to jump out of one on the first pounce. Pouncing/jumping after touching the ground lets you get a bunch of speed.

Special Thanks
SilviaFoxtris for making a Linux build after I asked her to.
Potential improvements
A different route, where you go right instead of left.
DrD2k9: Claiming for judging.
DrD2k9: Judged based on temp encode and confirmed sync by InputEvelution. Nothing looks blatantly sub-optimal. No forum comments with questions about the run, and I didn't have any come to mind while watching either.
Accepting.
