Some people have mentioned they got frustrated with various jumps in the game. I decided to put up a video that shows how to beat these jumps, with a various mix of skills. In general, Wall Jump + Grapple Hook is all you need to get around the game world. Triple Jump makes things a bit easier. You don't ever actually need Power Jump, though it makes both of these keys trivial.

Reviews
Reviews are coming in for Platform Hack. Not all are glowing, or even positive, but hey, that's what you get for releasing something out into the wide world! Thanks for spending your time to review my game!
I was surprised by how hard most people found the game. Although I was happy that at least two reviewers completed the game before posting their writeups. For those who got frustrated on tough jumps, maybe I'll post some videos on how to beat those spots. I assure, the entire game can be beaten, although certain skills may be necessary.
"As with most of my Indie purchases, this was an impulse buy. After all, priced at a dollar, even if it’s bad, you’re still getting your money’s worth. Thankfully, Platform Hack is not bad, it’s actually pretty fun. It has a good mix of RPG, action and platforming. It’s a decent length, with a wide variety of levels and enemies. Overall, it’s a pretty dang good deal for 80 Microsoft points."

"'Platform Hack' is a 2D hack 'n slash RPG platformer. It has it's own unique look with hand drawn artwork/features as wells as a some very involved gameplay mechanics... I actually found myself cussing a times due to the difficulty of the levels, and the boss battles. It is all managable, but it definitely got a bit nerve racking at times."

"So when a title pops up offering platforming, shooting/fighting all in one package my brain says give it a try and spend the MS Points"

"The craziest thing about this review is that I can’t answer why I played all the way through it. I could name many better games that I didn’t put this much time into. There is at least some quality to [Platform] Hack, but I am a pretty big sucker for level-ups."

"Once you get to the actual game, it’s a hacky-slashy platformer. I never would have guessed by the name."
