Play Text A Platformer – Word-Based Platform Action

Welcome to a platformer built entirely from text. Control your character with arrow keys or WASD, jump with Up or W. The level itself is made of words: dodge "spike" and "LAVA" text to survive. Springs launch you higher. You can wall jump by pressing jump while holding left/right or A/D. Spikes labeled 1 through 6 are all avoidable with proper timing.

Music & Creator Credits

Hidden Detail – Public Secret

Your player character contains black text inside the body and white text on the eyes. The pupils are white against black ink. A subtle visual signature.
