How does your game fit the theme?
You play as a lizard (scales on a lizard) and you climb you're way out of a sewage system, in other words. Scaling a sewage system. (its vertical, the lizard was built to scale and scale is a verb.)

Fun game! Had some issues with the linux build being very laggy. The controls were a big weird. W to jump I don't like (pls be space) and also still haven't figured out how to detach from walls, meaning I got stuck on this segment.
Music was chill. Also I really liked the spider enemies. Trying to evade three of them in a row was fun!
Missed the first checkpoint not knowing it was a checkpoint and it's easily ignorable so I got sent back to the beginning which was frustrating. I don't like that you can't just let go of a wall and fall. The mice scurrying around stopped me in my tracks because it looked like an enemy that would reset my progress. But then the spiders actually are enemies, so I don't know what moving sprites I can and cannot trust. And it needs to drop the intro screen's gimmick of dragging a word into place as it does not fit with the theme.

this is like my ideal review. I agree, the game did come out half cooked and I wish I had more time to spend on making the game better. I think the part you're talking about is where there is upwards water to the left and there is a little geyser on the floor which shoots you up but the tile map I definitely agree with. The decoration was definitely tooo much but yeah. Thanks for the rating its great. glad you appreciate the thumbnail too took me half an hour.
