Dyle Classic
A downloadable game
This game was made in two weeks for the Text-Based Jam! It took a total of 90 hours to create.
Dyle is an text-based, hard-as-nails platformer, where you'll jump, land, and boost. The game is made completely of ASCII characters that will bring you into a world harking back to the retro days of text-based games.
In this game you will die... a lot. So prepare to have your heart crushed quite often by the blood pumping gameplay and custom-made soundtrack.
Just when you think you might give up, don't! You will NOT regret getting to the end. Trust me.
This game was made for a game jam, so it's not the most high quality game in the world. I plan to come back to this sometime and flesh out the game more to possibly release it someday. So think about this as more of a demo than anything.
Good luck... and don't rage!
This game has controller support for DirectInput and XInput, meaning it will work with almost all controllers.

I can't land those moving platforms!!
Oh, I just figured out the mechanic. Nasty.
The level wherein you fall right into the spikes was so abusive that I stopped playing right after I finished it. I would recommend save slots and maybe a farsighted camera. Thanks for aggravating my migraine. Four stars out of five.
Lin Ji.
Sorry about the migraine, but I'm glad you seem to be having fun! I added in the save slots like you suggested. Thanks for that suggestion!
You're good, bro. Thanks for keeping an open mind, as always. And I enjoyed the music, too. No vocoder, though, I noticed.
