Simple concept but pretty fun. You made a lot of levels, and I enjoyed the challenge. The animation of looking left or right while holding a ladder was a nice touch to know which direction I will dash.
I got a bug on the first level with spears where I respawned but was still dead. I think a spear hit me during the respawn animation. I wish the respawn animation was a little faster, and it would be nice if the next level chunk appeared sooner. It would also be nice if pressing jump gave me a brief duration of unable to re-grab the same ladder, so that my jump wouldnt instantly cancel if I am still holding Up.
I made it to a huge level that I assume is the finale but I struggled with the tall ladder on the right.
Some sound effects and a walk animation would also have been quite nice to make the movement more satisfying.
thanks for playing the game, sorry for the respawn bug, i can't fix it in time, i'll try to fix it in the next update,
for the right ladder in the last level, climb up and jump to the small platform on the left, jump back to the ladder when the spear trap go back and quickly jump and dash to grab the last ladder. I make that last part hard intensionally, if you have any idea to make that last part feel better for the player please let me know.
Again, thank you so much for playing my game
The movement is great! There is some bugs when I respawn and I couldn't move maybe because it's in the dead state. The idea is nice. Great work!
thanks for the feedback, i've encountered the same bug in development, but i can't replicate it and it only happens randomly in only 1 particular level.
I enjoyed the movement, felt pretty good to get down. The animation for leaning on a ladder was especially nice feeling.
