Happy Pixel Day! This is the first year I have something to contribute!

Join The Squat is a 2D Precision/Action Platformer I've been working on with my friend in our spare time and we've finally put together enough content to warrant a demo.

With the focus on precision there's definitely a learning curve to picking up the game especially for people who are unfamiliar with platformers, but I hope the people who enjoy this kind of thing can get their fix.

-------EXPERIMENTAL CONTROLS-------

NOTE: These controls are mostly used for testing the game and are not polished for general use.

PRACTICE MODE: pressing [H] during a level will allow you to save anywhere but the game will not save your stats

keep in mind that it is INCREDIBLY easy to soft lock yourself using this feature and should only be used if you are short for time.

DELETE SAVE: holding down [DELETE] and [END] in the level select will reset your save, you may have to press it a few times to get it to stick, afterwards refreshing the screen should reset your save.
