Hi,

Here a platormer game for speedrun.
The game is on Linux and you need pygame for now and Windows.

Linux:

To install pygame:
-for Arch : yaourt -S python-pygame
-for Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install python-pygame
To launch the game, use ./start.py

Windows:
Launch start.exe

You are a cube and you need to reach the end the most rapidly possible if you can.
You have 3 abilities in total : go to left, go to right, jump; but you have only 2 of these abilities at one time.
At the start, you play with left arrow and right arrow. When you reach a burgandy zone, your 2 new keys are shown on the screen.

Good luck, have fun !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! THIS GAME IS SO EVIL! Seriously, there needs to be checkpoints. This game is so HARD! But otherwise, it's a great game.

Dont have a linux install around to play it, sorry.

... You just had to make us use Alt and F4 at some point... didn't you. My window manager doesn't even use that, but it still works.

Evil.

Nice retro, you can turn it into a keyboard training :)
Guys, seriously, you got to give Windows people a chance. Doesn't pygame work on Win/Mac? Also, please include an installation instruction, even if it is just installing pygame. Things like `pip install --allow-external pygame` didnt work for me, found it in repos instead.

I'm going to put a windows link. It was just that i didn't have the time but this is week-end is the time to put a windows link. =)

Awesome but hardcore game and I love that, maybe my masochist side!
Need a windows version and we're good.

I really liked the core mechanic here! Shifting controls are a pretty cool twist for the Frustratingly Difficult Troll Platformer genre. I dig it.

The LOL U Died song was a nice touch. Just rub some salt into that wound, game. Thanks for putting this together!

Very hard, but a solid effort.

Nice! The concept of changing controls is really cool and a nice use of the theme. The fact that platforms don't carry you is pretty frustrating though, then it got really hard so I didn't get much past that part :P Would like to see this with a bit of a smoother difficult progression. Nice work.
