Very fun game that capture the feel of a classic retro 8-bit arcade! Almost everything is on point, even the high difficulty! The genre mechanics fits also very well with the theme. The up arrow as jump button and down arrow as power up threw me off at first, but it's totally fine for better accessibility

Developer

Thank you so much! 😄 Yeah I can definitely see how that's confusing at first, and you're correct in that we set it up that way for accessibility purposes (so that the game could be played with only one hand.) If we had more time, we probably would have tried to set up customisable controls. 😊

Cute retro 8-bit art with trans pride flag color pattern, a good reason to play Here to Stay.
