The amazingly clunky 2-button platformer! by JaytleBee

[raw]
made by JaytleBee for LD34 (COMPO)
Here it is! A platformer that uses only 2 buttons!
Now, you might ask "But JatlBee, why'd you do that? isn't that really clunky?"
My reply would be this: "You spelled my name wrong."

There might or might not be a secret bonus level.

The embedded frame doesn't load.

At first I was like: 0 deaths, watch me. After 32 deaths, I was like: Ok, I take it back.

I was very sceptic about this concept, but turned out ok. It was very hard, but once I got used to it, it was possible. It is kind of like learning combos in Mortal Combat :).

Cool game! I liked the way you implemented a platformer using only 2 buttons, nicely done. My hand got a nice workout this morning trying to maneuver around all of the obstacles.

Interesting concept but too many deaths. Graphics could be better.

Neat idea! Almost started turning into a music rhythm game with the combinations of buttons being pressed.

Nice job!

I was thinking about doing something simmilar (in fact my controls are also switch and action). Good to see that idea working so well, nicely done! :D

Neat application of the theme, although I found it a little too frustrating to really get into.

I like this quite a bit! Having to select from different platforming actions is something I saw from another game, but yours provides a few more options, and is a bit more concise in execution. Very fun, but very hard. Managed to beat it though, but I'm unsure about whether the bonus level was one of the ones I did or not... fun nonetheless. :)

You totally delivered on the title! Actually I found it quite clever how there is the puzzle element due to he limitation of the controls. very Frustrating and very clunky. Good sense of humour. Nice work.
