Platform The Platformer: 81-Level Cannon Puzzle Epic

Curated by @BitTheDrone. Six months of development resulted in this narrative-driven platformer. Far beyond a simple boss fight—the boss is a side challenge. The core experience is 81 hand-crafted levels requiring cannon mastery and wall clipping.

Complete Control Customization

Toggle: Press P to switch between WASD and Arrow key schemes.
Cannon: Space to activate. Arrow keys (or W/S in arrow mode) to adjust angle.
Quick Switch: Keys 1-9 instantly change cannon type/dialogue.
Utility: E destroys platforms, Q/R open/close minimap, Q+R restarts level.

Advanced Techniques: Wall Clipping

Essential for many levels. Perform a wall jump (move toward wall + Up) and immediately press the opposite direction. Practice is strongly recommended.

Story & Lore: AI Simulation

You are an AI in a poorly funded department. The minimalistic 4-color design (black, white, jump) is intentional—a simulation with degraded assets. 'Lava' is a developer placeholder. Deeper narrative exists inside sprite scripts ('Dave').

Secret Chambers & Reports

A hidden chamber becomes obvious mid-game. Access puzzles are not disclosed. The game tracks community bug reports: Reports filed: 8.
