Tried to play it again, but now it crashes on load. (Windows 11)
Thanks for letting me know. I just updated the game engine to the latest release and uploaded a new version. Please let me know if that fixes the issue.
No, this is what I got when trying to run it from a console
panic: open image\robot-tileset\tileset.png: file does not exist

Had to go to the comments to find out about wall-jumping... which I tried already but it fails most of the time since touching a wall makes the figure bounce off it, no longer in contact with the wall a frame after it's possible. Only way to wall-jump is to jitter against the wall and hope you hit 'J' at the right time. Very frustrating.
Agreed, wall jumping is for all intents and purposes non-functional.

I think editing the second 'room' may be in order. This may be a 'joke' game that is purposefully designed to waste time and cannot be completed. Fortunately it is open-source so I await a release made to increase the default/base speed of the controlled creature as well as removing/modifying an obstacle in the second room that prevents completion.
There are wall-jump mechanics.
I found it out on my own, but it would be good to have some mention of that in the instructions.
