Commander Keen Anyone?

[Rayek]

A cool webpage on the 3drealms.com site... worth a gander.

This page has a keen clone in C++ with SDL.

Might be portable!

terrible... i just downloaded it... the controls are really messed up... i guess i can see some possibilities with the map editor, but otherwise, if this was ported, i probably wouldn't play it.

I feel like an idiot. I DL'd commander keen demo, and you start off in this room, and there is a crashed ship, and a blue rock blocking your way. How do i progress in the story. I tried figuring out the controls, but that didn't work. Would someone explain?

you are on that screen.. arrow keys are move, and ctrl is jump, alt is to use the pogo stick, spacebar pauses the game, and shows your status, and alt+ctrl is shoot. the dudes that are green with one eye are the only ones you can jump on, everyone else you have to fall mercy to, avoid, or shoot.

edit: walk up to the big blue thing blocking your path and press the ctrl button to enter the level.
