Super fun! Didnt take me too long to beat, hard platformers are my favorite genera! Would have loved to see some other implementations of the bound buttons! Maybe there was a timer and it switched between left and right? Or it was different every level? Something to keep you on your toes

I had a ton of fun playing this game, even though I was so terrible at it, haha. The idea of having your keys joined together was pretty clever, and the levels were evil (!!!) in a pretty entertaining way. The backgrounds were also incredible, like what has happened in this world!! My only quibble is that the block would sometimes get stuck on stuff and I'd get what felt like unfair deaths, which stung all that much more since the sticky-keys mechanic is already designed to be pretty frustrating to the player. But otherwise I had a great time with this one!
By the way, we played your game on our stream last night!

Nice HaulThank you so much! I loved your video. It was really fascinating to see how you guys approached the mechanics. Also, I apologize for the difficulty. This was my first time programing a platformer, and I think I've learned a lot about hit-boxes. Also, I didn't find the time to write any kind of story, but I'm happy my art caught your attention! You were very fun to watch, so thanks again!
That was a really interesting game! Movement is smooth, and most levels were well designed. It's sad that the dual mechanic of LMB was used only a few times, though. Intro music is also LOUD, and no SFX is kinda bad. Overall, the game mechanics are great, and should be expanded!

Cornered StoneGreat game! Love the idea and the level design was really good. It's amazing how you did so much with so little. I would change the difficulty a bit because I got a "bit" frustrated, but this is still a great game, hard or not.

BE(LEAVE)RJoining functions together in a key an interesting idea. I like the abstract environment too.
I think that making the player hard to control makes the game more challenging, but it can get frustrating pretty quickly. The levels that are in this game are similar to what you can create in a normal platformer, except that the controls made it harder. It is not fully utilizing the potential that you've created. The title music is also a bit sharp to the ear.
All in all, I think it's still a great platformer. Great job on the jam!

Helm's Odditythe controls are too difficult in my opinion, the character feels like walking on the ice floor. but it's a cool idea.
nice game.

Get Out of the Dungeonmy only complaint was that sometimes the jump didn't fire even if I move left. Other than that it's solid.

Stuck: to be a rockSimple and effective, the music is a tad too loud and some areas in the level design could be confused as background or vice-versa, but overall it's solid. Gj

Dead_WeightGreat concept and nicely introduced levels. The last one was quite difficult but I managed it in the end :D.

Guardian of the SynthwaveCool platformer/puzzle game! I definitely needed some practice before I got the jumping mechanics down, but after that I was able to complete the levels. Great job!

U-Night FuryReally cool concept! With some key-binding constraint, this simple platformer has turned into a well-designed puzzle game. Good job!! : D
