A quick prototype I put together for a simple platformer game idea: The player character uses a walking stick to poke switches and help them make difficult jumps and avoid dangerous terrain. In this case the only dangerous terrains are spikes and falling off the screen.

I also threw in some collectable mushrooms for good measure that add your score, as well as a timer that will give you a % bonus to your score if you're quick enough.

It's short, and has some  wonkiness which I'll be ironing out. But I'd love to get feedback regarding how the controls feel, especially opinions about the fact that I made the player character snap to grid in the x dimension, which I realize is an unusual choice for a platformer.

Hope you try it out!

PS: I'll consider putting together the tileset I made for this and making it a free release if people are interested. It's a PICO-8 friendly version of the Pinefieldsand Ancient Ruins tileset.
