[raw]
made by siimer for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

You are 0. You need to create your own map by typing the letters to make them into platforms. Use space to jump. Hold space longer to jump higher. The goal is to reach the end of each level, marked by the '@' character. When you complete all the levels, you can submit your highscore (this can also be done any time by accessing the pause menu by pressing escape).

There is a small bug with the mouse clicks not working in some parts of the main menu. Use arrow keys and enter to select options.

You can also change color scheme and font in the options menu.

I really loved it. I am not a big fan of platformers but that was really fun! Such a creative idea and nice minimalistic visuals. Really addicting. You should totally put it up on itch.io and get some players/visibility from there!

Cool concept ! Game is really nice but it is quite a challenge ! Music is nice but maybe a bit too high pitch ? I found it became a bit uncomfortable after several minutes. Nice entry, congrats !

Level 6 on the Linux build is unbeatable due to some kind of invisible wall on the o platform. Great game though nonetheless!

I really like this game. The idea is super cool, and it's one of the most innovative I have seen in the jam. My only complain is that the jump felt weird at times, sometimes it didn't quite got my input.

Very nice touch the customization you can do to the theme and the font, it's quite nice and the highscore it's great, it makes it competitive. So far my favorite of the jam. Great job!!!

Things I didn't like:
* At level 8 there's a hidden wall on the part with "f"s

Things I liked
* Excellent take on the typing genre! In general I like to type things fast on those games but in this game you have to type it precisely, it's different and very fun!
* Nice level design, especially level 6.
* I liked the highscore too, it hypes up the challenge

A simple but very fun game, good job!

Pretty hard for me, can't beat the game:D But I like the idea, using only letters to form a level is brilliant! Great One!
