Beat most levels on very easy. BUT ALSO: (he cut out this entire part to make himself seem not bad lmao) 193 deaths 30 mins afterwards (easy difficulty in most of them) 229 deaths in total Progress: beat 1st boss CAT MARIO: 27 deaths in 16 minutes (of those, 17 were to traps he had already seen, and 1 was not even a trap) Progress: almost beat the 1st level. Almost. COMMANDER KEEN: 5 deaths (i.e. a game over) in 15 minutes (3 minutes of not knowing how to enter a level) Progress: couldn't beat the 2nd real level BATTLEBLOCK THEATER: 2 deaths in 16 minutes (on insane difficulty) Progress: beat act 3 scene 2 LINESCAPE: 34 deaths in 6 minutes Progress: BEAT THE GAME!

Fun Fact regarding Commander Keen: John Carmack put a hanged Commander Keen as a kill trigger in Doom 2 because he absolutely hated the game's cutesy aesthetic and used Doom 2 as a way to get back at it. The hanged Commander Keens only appear in the 2nd secret level and is used to unlock the level's exit, for a pacifist run, the Commander Keens have to be killed by the Cyberdemon that acts as the level's boss.

If you're looking for a random weird game that has 2d platformer elements, I would HIGHLY recommend Rain World.

Yeah back in the DOS days CTRL and ALT with arrow keys was a pretty common control scheme for platforms. If you look at a standard keyboard it makes a certain kind of sense. They're large buttons that are easy to press and back then there was no windows key or function key crammed down there so there was just some empty space between them which made them pretty easy to hit without hitting anything else and your fingers wouldn't feel quite as cramped as if you used, for example, z and x, which is popular with a lot of Japanese games. I'm not really sure when they started to fall out of favor.
