A and D or left and right arrow keys to move. Space, up arrow, or W to jump. The point of this platformer is to teach you the design philosophy of video games. ================INFORMATION================ The greatest video game designers such as Shigeru Miyamoto have followed a simple but effective video game design philosophy way back since the first Super Mario Bros: - Firstly, you teach the player that new mechanic in a fun, interesting way. Back then, they couldn't fit a massive tutorial in a 40kb game, so they were required to let you explore it in a safe environment, which is still an optimal method today. - You then give them a challenge and the player must use their profound knowledge of that mechanic to conquer the challenge. Challenges can range from boss battles, side quests or they may even use a previously introduced mechanic. One thing to always include is risk to make the reward better; speaking of which... - Finally, you need to reward the player. This is the time that your player receives that chemical in their brain called dopamine which makes them feel like they've accomplished something. This is very important as this is what makes the game 'fun.'
