Actions Limited - GMTKJam2019
Entry for Mark Brown's Game Maker's Toolkit GameJam 2019. The theme is "Only One"
You have six actions buttons. Three are jumps (at various heights), and three are attacks (with some different properties). You can only use each once per stage. Plan out how to use your actions to get to the goal with as few actions used as possible.
For an extra challenge, you can try to get each stage's perfect* rating, using the minimum number of actions needed to clear a stage. You may be able to clear all 20 levels, but can you perfect all 20?
*May not actually be the perfect rating, this is just the best I know you can do on each level. There may be a better possible clear that I don't know about, and the game will acknowledge it if you find one. Please let me know if you can figure any out!
Update: As of now, I'm aware of two levels that have better than perfect scores. Can you find them? Are you better at this game than I was developing it in 2019? Are there more that nobody has found yet?
Originally released as a downloadable game for windows, as of 2022 it is now playable in your browser. It may take some time to load (this one can really take some time, sorry). The downloadable version is still available for those who prefer it.

this might be super old news at this point, but i got a better-than-perfect clear on level 18 by breaking the first block and killing the enemy with one stab, then charging + jumping through the blocks and across the gaps. i had a great time exploring the mechanics, thank you for making this game!
Oooh interesting, thanks for letting me know! I was sure there'd have to be something I didn't think of in at least one of the levels. Glad someone found one.
This is a super-cute and thoughtful little puzzle game! Level 7 was the toughest for me, after that I got through the rest of 'em pretty handily. Thanks for making and sharing this!
