How does your game fit the theme?
Each key on your keyboard has a health bar assigned to it. The more you use that key the quicker the health depletes. If the key runs out of health you can no longer use it and you are left "out of control".

Very clever - I liked how dynamic this became once I took the platforming to more challenging scenarios! I really love the premise of action economy literally mapping to your key presses.
Polished, interesting, and over-all well made submission. I love the simple details like the dust-cloud behind my character and the over-all gameplay is super engaging. Awesome job on this. Definitely deserves a top 100 spot
This is really neat. The simple aesthetic is great. There is a nice sense of weight (both physically and mechanically) to each jump. I wish you could always see how much HP each key has without covering half of the screen.
simple + effective in every aspect, from the gameplay to the art!
a really pretty game! a great game mechanic and really entertaining level design! it sometimes gets a little annoying to reconnect the same controls after every retry, but thats probably just because im bad at this game :D
Awesome take on the theme! I really like both the concept and the minimalist art!
Well played guys
Nice idea to use all the keys, it break the easy solutions very well!
I like the minimalist art style as well
Good Game =)
This one became both a real game of keyboard twister and brain busting by the third level. Really cool idea!
The game has a great consept and is really well polished
5/5 for the originality! Very cool concept of the keyboard keys having health bars!
This was one of the strong prevalent ideas, and the execution the best I've seen so far. Smooth, rewarding and fun, though takes some getting used to!
Love the idea and the execution is spot on. Very nice visuals, great interface and it's pretty hard to get to swap your keys every time ^^
I loved the idea, interesting interpretation of the theme :)
Such a well executed concept! Awesome job! Some levels were quite tricky but really fun!
Interesting take on the "change your controls in time to move" idea. Very well polished. Well done.
I love the minimal art and implementation of theme, amazing
Really great execution! Love the game feel, only complaint is that I couldn't always tell when keys break which made a few sequences frustrating. Overall great game, really enjoyed it!
Really cool, I love the art and the concept!
Clean and objective art style, great work in this jam!!
I really love your concept and take on the theme. I love how the platforming is kept simple so the focus is on the puzzle elements. :)
