It worked (for what it seemed to) as it should. The menus, however, were the greatest enemies for me. At title screen with "Press Start", it was quite nebulous that the "start key" would be ESC key. Then at the start menu was the second round across the whole keyboard to see which button lets me select Start Game - that time around it was "Z".

I figured it was a common enough control scheme for indie games, but I'll definitely consider a "Press [button configured to jump] Key to Start" instead of "Press Start" on the title screen.  Thanks for the critique!

Its possible that everyone knows that those are common controls - I don't really play side-scrollers unless it is for a good reason (play-test for other anons), so it is highly likely that it is me that is out of the loop.
