What difficulty are you playing at? Did you properly read the tutorials? If you’re playing the intro sequence, don’t be afraid of losing. If you’re fighting another boss and it’s too difficult, lower the difficulty while at any safe point as described at the end of The Fool. If your keys are physically sticking, that’s a user-end hardware problem. If Sticky Keys is activating, turn it off in the settings. Naturally, an exploration game requires exploration, but the game is still very linear and straightforward. The Ego Terminal is basically just an integration of the menu system into the actual world of the game. The Ego menu depicts certain stats associated with the combat system and how close you are to the next Desire level, which allows for the increase of dangers and events in the world.
plays a little klunky but works well enough for what it’s trying to do.
recommend checking out micro platformer on steam, really good minimalist precision platformer
