It took me a while to understand that you have to stand on a file to be able to open it, I was typing "open < filename >" :)
I did think the platformer controls were sluggish and uncomfortable. A huge problem I encountered was that I had no idea how large my character was, and how large each platforms were, felt unfair towards the last, final level. I really did enjoy the idea, though, so I strongly appreciate it for what it is.

The only problem i had was the movement... it felt a bit clunky excluding falling it just was clunky
very good entry! keep up good work and try to work on it outside the jam
