The idea of having only one level, but multiple characters that play so differently, is brilliant. It kinda feels like to self-imposed challanges people do in games, like finishing New Super Mario Bros without touching the ground. You have to carefully plan your route and sometimes you need to perfect your movement. For some reason, the the music reminds me of Baba Is You, which is a compliment in my opinion!
My biggest issue is the lack of a retry button. Sometimes, when you mess up, you have to wait for an enemy to spawn again, or you need to just kill yourself, which made Climb Boy unenjoyable for me. I always seemed to mess up my jump on the enemies and I always had to wait for them to come back.
Hopefully we will see more of this game, I'm looking forward to that!
