Loved the look and feel of this, controls were smooth and polished and the aesthetic is definitely fun. The main mechanic of shuffling and deleting command blocks to get a good run happening was just frantic enough to hit flow for me. I did have issues with the placement of the delete button being on the Up key, since when I play games with directional keys up is a natural jump position, so I would often press it instinctively instead of space and end up wiping out my commands. I also found levels sometimes generated in a state where I couldn't begin, I just didn't have the right commands available to me to proceed, but that's the nature of RNG and to be honest I'm not very good at this so perhaps those levels are indeed progressable :3 Overall this is a super fun little platformer! Much enjoyed!

Let people know how long has this project been going, or share a bit of its history.
Development for Blank Bit started in November of 2018, as part of GitHub's Game Off game jam. After the game was named a "Staff Pick" for that game jam, it was further developed as a prototype throughout January 2019. The game is largely complete, but may see some final updates before a full release in February.
