This reminds me of Battletoads on NES. I appreciate this for what it is, but the difficulty is not my jam. I ended up jamming left and right and then pressing jump to basically go up in a straightish line. (The exit is where it usually fails). Here's a picture that illustrates where I ended up in 8 minutes :-(.
I wonder if it would've been better to have 5 key control scheme: Move left, jump left, jump up, jump right and move right?
