Great game! It was a bit hard to get used to the controls (if you can call them that) though.

A way too difficult for me ^^ I was quite happy when I saw that we can stick on walls ^^ It lacks sounds though.

But the game is cool ^^ Keep coding :)

No matter how hard I tried I couldn't jump up onto the first platform. But I see what you were going for. Good concept.

OK so that is really really difficult to get the hang of. Thank god for friction sticking me to the walls or I doubt I would ever have been able to get up on some platforms. Good work submitting!

Shorthands might have improved the experience (e.g. j for jump).

Really nice idea, I was a little disappointed in the execution though. If you continue with this post jam, I think the following tweaks might help a lot; - slower movement, or have a fixed amount of movement (eg move one 'tile' at a time rather than move continously) - "left" / "right" as keywords instead of "move left / right" - also some synonyms like "go left" - "controls" should open the controls helper in game, and "help" as a keyword should also open that

I couldn't get up to the platform, but I like the concept.

Difficult to type fast enough for me :smile: I couldn't complete 1st level because the square player jump is too short :/ Some improvements : - slow player speed - increase jump height - just reuuire "left" instead of "move left" (same for right)

It could be a fun small game for those who can type withotu looking at their keyboard :) Keep working on games :wink:

cool idea, but I think you should reduce some command phrases, for example, just left or rigth, instead of including an pointless 'move'.

Multijumpcheat is the best!

I tried all three levels. I couldn't jump on the platforms on the first level because the jump wasn't high enough, but I could get stuck next to the platform and type jump repeatedly to get on top of the platform. I did like how you can jump on the circles on the third level to defeat them. I liked the concept, but I felt like the difficulty curve was too steep. Maybe add different words to type to perform the different actions.

Very challenging, I liked the concept. Good game!

I really liked the art style, simple but engaging. I found the game too hard though, with level 1 not being able to make the first jump to the platform (not sure why it doesn't jump high enough). I'd recommend a shallower learning curve to ease into the mechanics.
