Don't Lose CTRL

Don't Lose Control A 2D platformer where your keyboard shortcuts are your weapons. Copy. Paste. Survive. Don't lose Ctrl.

THE WORLD

Inside the digital sector of Kernel-9, reality is maintained by the Master Shortcut. A malicious Delete virus has shattered it, scattering its letter-entities across five corrupted zones.

You are a rogue user-script — an unauthorized process that woke up inside the damage. No permissions, no weapons. Just access to the system clipboard. In a world made of data, that's enough.

Find C, V, S, and Tab. Reassemble the Master Shortcut. Switch reality to a clean dimension before the Delete virus erases everything.

MECHANICS

C — Copy Strike. Clone any target's data into your clipboard: enemy projectiles, world objects, even living enemies.

V — Paste Summon. Write your clipboard into reality. Blast a stolen projectile back at its source. Drop a bomb barrel. Summon an ally from a defeated foe.

Z — Undo. Despawn your oldest active paste and reclaim its RAM instantly.

S — World Save. Commit the current world state to disk. Your only lifeline when the Delete virus is chasing you.

Tab — Dimension Switch. Phase between the Corrupted World and the Empty Blueprint — a clean dimension where enemies cannot follow.

The Tether — Ctrl is a living entity that follows you. Let it drift too far and Chaos Events trigger: physics invert, gravity flips, controls scramble. Catch it to restore order.
