==Gameplay==
In the game, players BASE jump headfirst from the top of the highest building downwards. The game is viewed in a [[3D computer graphics|3D]] [[first person perspective]]. The buildings in the game appear as squares on a grid which can be rotated in any direction. [[Player (game)|Player]]s score points by smashing objects on the way down, smashing through various colored glass plates, landing via [[parachute]] on a designated [[drop zone]], and not getting killed on the way to the bottom. Players also receive "hugs" by hugging buildings and other airborne obstacles, and they can receive "kisses" by continuously moving in between buildings. Hugs and kisses help create [[combo]]s, which help increase score.<ref name="Meunier" /> Structures, obstacles, and objects vary amongst levels. Some levels feature mountain slopes, floating and/or moving structures, birds, and [[abstract art]].<ref name="Dahlen">{{cite web |last=Dahlen |first=Chris |title=AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! |publisher=[[The Onion]] |date=2009-09-28 |accessdate=2009-10-20 |url=http://origin.avclub.com/articles/aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,33372/}}</ref>

Players are rated for how well they jump, and they earn "teeth" for achieving certain benchmark high scores on jumps. Teeth allow players to unlock new [[level (video games)|level]]s, items (which includes [[espresso]] to help slow down jumps, [[graffiti]] to spray on buildings, and a glove designed to [[flipping the bird|flip the bird]] at protesters), and other obscure things such as [[guided meditation]]s and pig de-bristling techniques.<ref name="Meunier" /> Earning high enough scores allow players to post their scores on online leaderboards.<ref name="Dahlen" /> Developers say the game was inspired by [[BASE jumping]] in a [[wingsuit]].<ref name="Wilke2009">{{cite web |url=http://www.vlothoer-anzeiger.de/service/multimedia_tipps/3166802_AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA.html |title=AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!! |first=Felix M. |last=Wilke |publisher=''Vlothoer Anzeiger'' |language=German |date=1 October 2009 |accessdate=10 November 2009}}</ref>
