Keybound
Keybound is a single-player medieval fantasy platformer, where you play as an escaped prisoner navigating a castle riddled with obstacles and secrets. Not only are you trapped behind dozens of doors and entryways but your movement is confined to the buttons of your keyboard.
Manipulate platforms by holding down keys corresponding to level layouts, collect in-game keys, and climb the tower before it's too late!
Note: Mechanical keyboard recommended for best gameplay experience.

Fun game! I came from insta and the art is amazing as always. The keyboard mechanic is very interesting!! My one thing is a struggle a bit with the coordination of the jumping and holding the keys, especially since I can't hold more than 2 blocks without the character not being able to move. That wouldn't be too big of an issue but you can't restart(or I don't know how to) the game, so I have to refresh the game, and start over, from the beginning. I've been stuck on level 2 since I keep messing up my jumping and the blocks fall, which ends in me soft-blocking myself since I can't restart the level. Being able to restart the level would be nice, especially in a puzzel game where it's expected for players to not get it at first. Still, seems like a cool game! I played in browser so idk how that differs from the downloaded version.
Thanks for trying out our game!
Not being able to hold more than two blocks is unfortunately a hardware issue, and depends entirely on your keyboard. Using a mechanical one usually minimizes the problem but regular laptops can't handle that much input :(
To restart the level, press Esc then R!
Thanks! I wasn't pressing Esc before R😅. I see about the hardware issue, thanks for responding!
