From the README

I first explored the idea of a one button platformer some 15 years ago in a GameMaker8.1 demo.

I've often though about remaking it in a more contemporary and polished version.

The flapping mechanic was inspired by the old arcade game BombJack.

Originally I thought about making the game as MAGA-man and have a pixelated Trump jump around ... with his red hat he is such a Mario-like character ... but luckily I changed my mind :)

And, yes, the "fear of 13"-theme is rather forced into it. I'm all about game play.

Brief notes on how the procedurally generated music is done.
