This is really good! A very well-thought out introduction to the components of a platformer. I don't think I've seen a platformer that has a tutorial like this (granted, I don't really play a lot of platformers any more), but it seems the assumption is that people just automatically know the mechanics. So this was a nice little departure from that assumption, especially for the keyboard, which is harder to figure out, as there are so many keys and keypress combinations compared to something like an NES controller. Great work, and great concept!

I was actually inspired by a video I watched a long time ago: What Minecraft Is Like For Someone Who Doesn't Play Games
I myself many times take the general knowledge we all have of games for granted and forget that not everyone is as use to playing them as I am, so I made this to be able to be a free resource to point people to in order to help teach the basics before going to other platformers.
