1 button to rule them all
The 1-button gameplay is not just a cheap gimmick here. JailBreaker is a competent precision platformer first and the constrained movement makes the routing of the levels an interesting additional challenge. The game isn’t easy but the controls are very tight and dying is very forgiving: the levels are short and you can jump right back in. With about 2 hours of playtime, the game never overstays its welcome and the nice 1-bit art style is just the perfect addition to the 1-button gameplay.
