You boot up a game. There's no tutorial. No clear objective. Just a "Start" button... somewhere.

Just Get Started is a surreal platformer where the start is always just out of reach. Navigate a series of glitched-out start menus, broken launchers, and corrupted interfaces in search of that one elusive button: "Start."

Each level is a different interpretation of what it means to begin—some playful, some eerie, and some... unsettling. With a hint of SCP-inspired weirdness, you’ll explore liminal UI spaces, shifting rules, and false starts. But what happens when you finally press the real Start?

🧩 Features

  • 🕹️ Unique menu-based platformer gameplay

  • 🧠 Puzzle-platforming through layers of deception

  • 🎵 Original soundtrack by Bevistales

  • 🧪 SCP-inspired anomalies and meta-mechanics

  • ❓ An ending that questions if the game ever really began

So go on.
Just get started.
