Feels like a full-blown mobile title. Art and sound are on point. The only thing I would change are the UI transitions - they are too slow for my taste. Overall a great entry, congrats! 👏

Deceptively cute game with a relaxing ambiance. Once bats get introduced though, the game is legitimately hard (in a fun way), I could see this working well on mobile!
Interesting climbing game, the art style impressed me a lot, and the game play is also super polished.
Well done!
nicely polished clean and fun experience. Particularly like the sound design. Only point of feedback is more visual clarity on when you'll touch back down. The warning sign for boulders could also blink when they're close.
I loved it. One of the best games I played here so far. The ambience, the plot, all the small details, it's just amazing. Huge well done!
The game is simple but really great! I think the gameplay could be speed up and harder, at start I nearly hold [SPACE] forever. Overall I liked the game!
Wow I really think that this game would work very well as a mobile game, there is so much potencial in this project, good work!
I like the idea! nice visuals. I think it would have been better if the player swung back after the jump like you would expect.
Very nice art, it reminded me a bit of Ibb & Obb. I wish the camera was a bit further away to plan my moves better!
The background color change is very simple, but very effective. It would be more satisfying if you could see when the climber is about to lower, but it's really a great entry!
The concept is fine, but the movements are really disappointing. If it had better movements I probably would've liked it more. Also the game is very repetitive. Art and sounds are pretty cool though.
The game is simple but well polished with sound effects & satisfying calm environment. Great job!
It looks polished, gread sound effects also, but the gameplay is just way too simple for me. Even the chrome dino game has more complexity. Some different kind of obstacles would help, or some kind of bonus for going faster and having a better reaction time. Some poisson random spikes just don't cut it for me, sorry. (i mean it constructively, it's not my aim tu hurt anyone's feelings.) (It would mean a lot if you would rate my game if you have the time)
Thank you for your feedback. There are a few different kinds of obstacles as you get higher (falling boulders, bats), but I admit you have to get pretty high before you reach those.
I was originally going to have a countdown timer/highscore system also to encourage speed, but I didn't have time to put it in the game sadly.
Again, thanks for the feedback, it means a lot. :)
Very nice and polished, the art style is wonderful. I particularly love the gradient in the background from the sun.
I found the gameplay a bit frustrating, because I had to be so patient to not get killed. I would've maybe liked some way to see spikes from further away, since I wanted to take bigger jumps but that felt like it would randomly get me killed sometimes. Anyways, great work!
