Just tried the Spelunky classic ( an online version of it https://yancharkin.github.io/SpelunkyClassicHDhtml5/ ) and now I see why is it that way.
I can't figure it out. It def would be more intuitive that moving the JOY left or right on ladder (or rope!) the hero would try to left the ladder in that direction.
However a really nice port, is the vases can be broken somehow?
Once I jumped on the rope on the start screen and left the screen up hoping in some easter egg :D
Ah ok, I finished the game since then. So I saw in one of the readme that the server A, B and X need to be rubbed. I thought that that is a hint so I need to smash all the three Pico8 butons at once (Button A, B and X, which are X,C,V in my keyboard), So I did it several times while the screen goes purple with an error message: "Out of memory" which I thought that all part of the game. I didn't realized that one button saves a checkpoint and that's while I heard the *beep* sound and everytime it's occupy a little more from the RAM getting it full.
I love the tileset, had to check how it's fit to the C64 screen (I've redrawn everything from scratch)

(WINDOWS 7 Pro x64) If you use the select tool, then you want to use the rectangle (or ellipse) tool it always draw dashed line and I can't figure out how to restore (program restart helps) you can even change the width of the dashed line which is very nice! but no option to get back to normal rectangle.
Also shortcuts seems very aggressive, I cannot even write comment here, because it swallows my U,E,I letters and the spaces
I wonder how you guys optimized your animations to keep the size below 3 MB.
I had to use GIMP, resize from 320x320 to 64x64 and resave to get ~1-2 MB, but they seem blurry in itch.io https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam2016/rate/62711
But there I see plenty of long animgifs, which aren't blurry. https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam2016/screenshots
I've finished capturing and uploading some animated gif finally.
