Burn It Down

why not just give us normal controls? genuinely one of the most confusing plat former games I’ve seen in a while. if you want an actual one w/ a slightly edgy and good story- play hop bound. It gives you an actual jump button </3 Still, if you’re actually good at timing (I’m not lol) this might be a fun game. just, not for me.

The simplicity of the controls works nicely with the implicit mechanics and level design. There may only be left and right, but given enough running space your character will jump gaps and rebound off walls. Meanwhile stairs slow you down. Thwomp-like blocks and retracting spikes make for some fun timing challenges. I honestly could have kept playing this game even after the last level, as I think the mechanics that already exist still have room to provide more challenges. My biggest qualm is that there’s not much story to speak of. There are only a few levels with any story elements and they don’t provide much to go off of. Good game, though!

My only real complaint is the control system of jumping and running. Controller support maybe would help or on screen controls. Others it was a nice challenge and enjoyed the entire play through.
