oh you SNEAKY.... I did it i beat it but that was a dirty trick with the 7

that was honestly so much fun, i lost myself in it, it is to it's core a metroidvania in the simplest terms, steady advancement, back tracking, upgrades, so good

Nice bit there. Not sure how to get to the 7 and having to circle around to it a lot made it drag on. :D It took me awhile just to figure out what to do in the very beginning. I didn't know what you have access to is on the bottom. :D

Interesting game! I really love metroid games.

Cute metroidvania! Unfortunately I couldn't get past the 7 but I liked how if you have more movesets (or keys) you can trace back to that location using a different path. I really enjoyed figuring out that you can actually use the number keys to unlock doors rather than it being just a collectable.

Nice game, really interesting !

"Touch the wrong flag and get thrown back in progress" really made me pull my hair few times, but other than that, it's a neat metroidvania game with vibey music. Well done! :D

Really nice idea of unlocking physical buttons on your keyboard as you progress. The music was very relaxing.

Apart from the fact that it's artless, I can hardly find any flaws.

The gameplay is really excellent. There is no feeling of jamming when jumping. The mechanisms are just in place and the music is very fitting.

Wish to have a good ranking!

cool concept,
had some issues with the screen size, but managed to enjoy it regardless
well done! :)

Interesting concept. It's made simply, but you can tell the levels weren't just thrown together randomly. Like some other commenters, I couldn't manage to get to level 7 :(

A great exploration game!

I couldn't finish it. But the concept and mechanics are interesting.

Perhaps a moving camera would have made it easier to navigate (or at least that was the idea). It was a bit jarring to fall when I stepped toward a new screen.

I was hoping the I and P buttons would do something. I circled around a few times and thought I'd gotten around everything, but I still couldn't figure out how to get to the letters on the left and right (I think they were O and T).

@yoav-kagan Thank you!!
@cahard Thank you!! Just moving forward and get something else than 7
@zidan-banan Thank you!! The game was design to every keys will have an ability like dashing or something at first, but deal to the time limitation, i cut it off. O and T or something are just hidden in the map, maybe some corner or border of the map. QWERTYUIOP all can be found in the map.

Very good game! Excellent! The in-ldja.com-run didn't work. But runing the itch.io page did work. Cool mechanic and good design. Very well made and you prove that with simple graphics and a great little audio with lots of mechanic idea's you can make a really enjoyable experience! My compliments!

I really admire the map design of this game.

That was awesome! This is a full-fledged Metroidvania. Even though some jumps seem pixel-perfect, I still enjoyed collecting the keys and unlocking new abilities. And the main character, made of just a few pixels, has a special charm!

Clever platforming game. Unfortunately I got stuck at no 7 and fell quite far. There just wasn't enough incentive for me to go all the way back up yet again.

A metroidvania where you collect your keyboard keys to unlock new abilities is a really neat idea! I thought the level design was great with not too much backtracking needed to find where to go next.

What a great game and idea! The simple design lulled me into a false sense of security, this was an epic bit of work.

Cool idea! I also got stuck at number 7 but it was fun to discover the stuff leading up to that.

Me when clear keyboard

Interesting idea and I found it enjoyable. I would like to know how to get on the 7 because I feel like there is a missing platform.

@baluj @graebor @cogcomp Thank you for playing!!!

That was great. Loved it. Graphics are great, and I don't mind them being minimalist. Audio is nice and relaxing. There's a surprising amount to explore considering the small space used. My only quibble is I didn't find the U before picking up the 9; not knowing that would end the game. Good stuff :8ball:

@oddballdave Thank you for playing!!!

Wow that was super fun!! The pixel-art and animations were very cute and fitting as well! Had a lot of fun playing this puzzle/platformer :)
I love that the main menu is itself a little level!
Had a lot of fun with this, great job!!

I really liked the idea! Although it was a bit hard at first, I managed to get the hang of it later. The concept was well executed and the game felt polished despite the simplicity of the graphics. I also really liked the music. Great game and congrats!

Damn, it was a great game! Loved the mechanics, loved the sound, the gameplay. Incredibly solid entry!
