Tense, I like it! Great job 😁
Really want to like this game, it's a cool core mechanic, but once you lose the starting momentum to a random offscreen physics quirk, unless I'm missing something you're screwed. I really enjoyed getting into the swing but it needed something so it wasn't so random and wasn't so repetitive. I get the intention to have momentum be something hard earned but I don't think the solution was this little control.
Also, going from two to three climbers didn't change anything as far as I can tell. Again perhaps I'm missing something?
Thanks for your feedback! I don't think it's quite as random as you think. And yeah the starting momentum is really important. That's why it's better to have a "speedrun" kind of playthrough, instead of a methodical, slow approach, and reset quickly when you know you've lost too much momentum :) . You're right that 3 players didn't change much but it sets up the next level which has 4. Which changes the dynamic quite a bit. Thanks for playing and for your feedback!
love the art and design, music and sounds are great, fun and interesting concept, quite a bit of content, overall it's amazing, only problem is that after finishing the zqwp level it just leaves me with a black screen?
Yeah we kind of ran out of time at the end :P Thanks for playing!
It is hard to not have any way to regenerate any momentum but I get why it's not possible. I feel like it's just a really nice concept, the art is very cool and the controls feels good. Well done!
Thanks so much!
great idea but i cant play the second level for some reason
Hey jimmy, thanks for playing! We are aware that some keyboards have different anti-ghosting settings than others :/ I'm very sorry about that, most people can play the game just fine, and some experienced the issue at the last level. You are the first case of ASK anti-ghosting we've heard of so far, thanks for letting us know.
Very interesting idea! But too difficult for me. I wasn't able to get past the second level after a few minutes.
Amazing idea for the theme! Great game :)
This is quite a fun challenge! It really requires picking up on the physics, and planning out how the characters can swing.
Job well done, I think this game is a great take on the theme.
Found the bear but couldn't get past the last level, quite enjoyed the overall challenge, though it's definitely a bit frustrating to just lose part or all of your momentum to the physics going a bit wonky, I'd say adding in the ability to regain momentum would be nice, but, not really in the spirit of the game I'm sure, so perhaps just making the physics and swing a bit more consistent would take away some of the randomness that comes with physics based games. All in all though still a pretty fun challenge and I did indeed find the secret bear, well I found a bear anyway XD Nice job!
This game has some great art and a neat idea. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get past the level with 4 climbers because my keyboard's anti-ghosting wouldn't register holding down ASKL all at the same time. Of course this isn't the games fault but I thought I would mention it.
That's a good point! Thanks for playing!
Wow, very good! Kinda frustrating when you get close to the goal but cant quite reach it, but since the levels are short it's really no problem. Very fun to play, great job on the game!
This is infuriating in a very good way. :-)
Once your climbers are in a straight line down, there isn't much you can do anymore. Maybe some way to regain some momentum would be nice ? Though the stages are just a short drop down to get a reset. Which is much more fun than pressing R, btw.
This is super unique! I love the mechanic, the presentation, everything!
It is super hard though, I got close but I could hardly clear the second level! There's not really much you can do when you make a mistake, so I end up just replaying the same first few moves of a level over and over again. Not too sure how best to approach this, perhaps letting people climb back up? Not sure.
Still though, awesome entry! Keep working on this!
Wow this is really good! I have't seen anything like this so far! and the rock climber setting really fits well. Great art, great challenge, great game!
Love this idea! This was heaps of fun when it worked, but I found that once my momentum was stopped there was nothing I could really do. The ropes seemed to get kinked up and stop me from recovering. Outside of that this looked, sounded, and played great. Nice work!
I absolutely LOVE this game! The art is stunning, the concept is quite original and the gameplay is challenging enough but also very fun! I did find the bear but couldn't make it past level three. Great job <3
This is amazing. Outsanding job! ☆
The art is really beautiful and the concept is interesting. It wasn't very fun since it was lacking some variety or mechanics. But it is very original and has a lot of potential, maybe for a rage game or a puzzle game.
Great concept. And I loved the art!
Fun concept, pretty hard but it is not a bad thing. The art is really good.
Sometimes character can stuck for a little while falling so sometimes they don't swing as I think they should but maybe they just bump at each other in which case it's totally my fault lol
