This game has great promise! The controls can definitely be improved, and more context given to navigate the world. I went in the wrong direction for 5 minutes after leaving the cage, and fell back down to the start after hitting the first lever, which felt punishing after spending so long wall-jumping to get there.

Thanks for the feedback Blocker! yeah 100% agree, i really wanted to do more with the level design but ran out of time, i intend to carry on work on it though so will definitely look at fixing this :D

Really enjoyed it apart from the slopes and the fan. It seemed random whether I'd make the jumps or not, I couldn't find any set ups that would make it easier.

Thanks fusinabowl, yeah we didn't get to playtest as much as we'd've liked so that area is way more difficult than anticipated. Appreciate you playing and giving feedback :D

Harder than Only Up! Has impressive design and strikes the perfect balance between challenging and rewarding gameplay

I freaking love this game. It took me a while to get on that pesky fan though, did it in the end because i got that hamster (dawg) in me.

Can't seem to toggle the Inverted controls - clicking the checkbox doesn't do anything?

Hey Alcator, unfortunately this was a bug we didn't have time to fix :( the button should work, but the UI doesn't update to reflect the change, when you click it though it will invert the Y axis of the mouse

Thanks Zoubgui! Will be sure to check it out when i get home from work!

We did find the sens to be an issue too tbf, last minute added a sensitivity slider in the settings if you hit escape which should help :)
