Mushroom PickingThis idea is so good! It was really fun trying to find a path, because of being a keyboard I also had to "juggle" my fingers around not to kill the character, that was really a fun experience!

SynchroniCityNice game! Holding multiple keys is the main obstacle for me. Hope there is a toggle mode.

Keypad Out of ControlReally nice idea! The only "problem" for me is that ou have o search for your way by pressing all keys to find the way an then start to actually play. I think to have the elements visible (at least the exit) would be cool.
And I would love a QWERTZ-Version :D

Momentum MadnessNice concept! Love how polished and good looking the game is. The only problem I had was the proses of finding the exit and spikes were a bit tedious. It would be nice if there were an option to see them without pressing any keys. Great game, make me wish I had more fingers 😃!

Space DrifterThis is probably the most clever take on the keyboard control aspect of this jam

Runaway TruckClever twist on pathfinding and execution. Being able to see the body is useful. Gotta be careful with Brian.

BS-9001 Quality TestingI love this game! The fact that it is first a puzzle figuring out how to maneuver to the exit and then executing the solution itself is tricky with the keyboard twister. Would love to see this expanded further with more obstacles and levels! Great job :)

Backseat BeebowThis is fantastic! I like how it has you doing finger twister to get where you want to go and how you can explore the level before hand by revealing what's under each key to plan your route

Blind SniperI really like the concept and the interpretation of the theme! The overall minimalist look of the game was really good as well! Overall, I enjoyed playing!
