Nobody Said It Was Easy is a tough-as-nails 2 button action/puzzle-platformer designed specifically for touchscreens. 100 levels, new mechanics in every world, and a catch: you can only turn around by hitting a wall.

App Store description: Run. Jump. Hit walls to turn around. Get to the flagpole in all 100 levels while collecting as many stars as you can. Sounds simple, right? Just remember: nobody said it was easy.

History

It started with a question. What would the world's fastest, simplest platformer look like? I began prototyping speedy controls and low-res graphics, and quickly hit upon the mechanic of running into walls to turn around as a way to limit the touchscreen controls to 2 inputs, making them accessible and unobtrusive. I strove to create tiny, one-room challenges that communicate clearly and feel fair and beatable, but require effort from the player to overcome.
