BitJump
BitJump is a fast-paced platformer with retro-styled visuals and simple controls. There is currently only one stage available. However, please note that this is only a prototype, so there will be more to come in the future!
I created all of the graphics and visuals myself in Aseprite; however, I enlisted the help of ChatGPT to help me with coding the game using GameMaker's GML language.
Platforming Controls:
| Movement | Jumping | Crouching | Throw Boomerang | Back to Level Select |
| A & D Keys | Spacebar | S Key | K Key | R Key |
Level Select Controls:
| Movement | Stage Select | Back to Title |
| W,A,S, & D Keys | Return Key | R Key |
Please note that this game should not be sold or used commercially, and the assets should not be reused for your own projects (without my permission). Thank you for understanding!

In the future, please give an alternative key for jumping. It's really awkward to play platformers where you have to press Up to jump - this only works in fighting game. Shift, S, W or Z would all work.
I'm saying that because I love everything else about the game - it's fun, snappy, charming. Love it. I just want more levels... ;_;
Don’t sweat it! Such a quick and easy update to do (as far as swapping keys for different things)!
You hit the nail on the head. I’m thinking of changing it to WASD for directional movement like for walking/crouching and then have J for jumping and K maybe for the boomerang attack. That might feel better suited for traditional platformer controls.
More levels to come in the future as well! I am planning some interesting things.
Now if I can figure out moving platforms and sloped terrain I will be golden 🫠
Really well done!
Thank you for the comment! I'm glad you like it! :)
