Cheno vs Reeno

Cheno's chasing Reeno through spike pits and crumbling platforms, and every double jump has to land perfectly or the rivalry ends in a faceplant.

I'll be honest: I clicked on Cheno vs Reeno expecting a throwaway meme platformer, but the double jump alone kept me glued. You guide Cheno across these side-scrolling obstacle courses while Reeno—your smug rival—tends to pop up just to remind you how far behind you are. The controls are simple: WASD or arrows to move, and tap W or Up twice for that crucial double jump. But don't confuse simple with easy. The second jump only works if you time it right after the first, and the game knows exactly when you're panicking. Early levels lull you into thinking you've got it down. Then you hit a section where the floor crumbles under your feet and the only way across is a double jump onto a pipe barely wider than your character. I died there maybe eleven times. The trick is not to mash the jump key—press it deliberately, feel the apex of the first jump, then commit to the second. Cheno's momentum carries differently depending on whether you're running or standing still, so small adjustments matter. There's also this nasty habit the game has of placing a spike right where your second jump naturally lands, forcing you to delay or angle yourself mid-air. It's frustrating, but in that good way that makes you say 'one more try.' By the time I finally cleared the third stage, I had a new respect for Cheno's stubby legs. Cheno vs Reeno doesn't do anything revolutionary, but it nails the fundamentals of platforming: tight hitboxes, readable hazards, and a double jump that feels earned. If you like games that punish button mashing and reward patience, you'll get a kick out of this. Just don't blame me if you start hearing Reeno's little taunt sound in your sleep.

Use "WASD" or "Arrow" keys for the player's movement. Use "W" or "Up" arrow key twice for double jump.

Don't mash the jump key—time the second press at the top of your first jump for max height. Hold forward while jumping to get extra horizontal reach; standing jumps are shorter. Crumbling platforms still give you a jump window for a split second, so use them as launch points. Reeno's taunts sometimes signal an upcoming trap, so keep sound on if you can. If a spike seems unavoidable, try delaying your second jump slightly to change your arc. Patience beats speed: wait for moving platforms to line up instead of rushing into a double jump.
