Commander Keen(ish) #TweetTweetJam

My 3rd #TweetTweetJam entry is: Keen-ish !
An attempt to remake the classic "Commander Keen" game, by id Software (from the brain of Tom Hall) in PICO-8, but in just 560 chars, and uses NO art assets! 😅

CONTROLS

• Walk   = ◀ /  ▶
• Jump = 🔼

GAME

• Collect red lollypops 🍭
• Say hi to a few Yorps while you're at it 👽
• That's about it!
  (turns out, it's tough to squeeze a full platformer, with generated map and sprites in just 560 chars!)
