You just wanted to pay some respect with your F key, but the KEYZ GOBLIN stole all your keycaps. Now he lets you reclaim them in his sadistic game. The controls change as you collect each keycap. Are you up to the challenge?

This concept is great! Really loved the changing controls and moving map - the only problem I had was I got trapped in a section with no way to get the keys on my last life so I ended up dying :') Great job though!

Great game you made there, I think it would be very cool to make this into a full post LD game

Very cool concept, though it is suprisingly harder than I expected.

I really liked the idea! Couldn't complete it because when time ran out and everything got reshuffled a wall spawned right on top of me and I got stuck out of bounds, unfortunate timing!

My left ear really enjoyed the music.

Awesome concept!
It's a similar feeling to these games where the letters 'red' are in blue ink and you have to say blue and don't get confused.

I liked it very much.

very hard difficulty though

Still beat it, hehe

To the people that got stuck, did you try walking through the end of the screen? You get moved to the other side

That was an awesome idea. I kept forgetting what key was what :joy:

I like that the keys cycle through your controls, making it predictable which control is going to switch next. The left-right looping structure of the levels adds _just enough_ challenge to the already-hectic nature of the control switching that the game ends up challenging but still feels doable.

I do wish, however, that the game told me how much time was left until I lost a life. Also, once, the game switched the level on me mid-jump and I ended up stuck in the wall. Just a couple of small blemishes in an otherwise very solid entry.

This is a funny idea. It was a little too hard for me to beat. I didn't hear any music, I guess it only plays in the left ear like the above poster said? My left headphone is broken.

Great idea and concept. Also very challenging, more than I anticipated.
