Love You UP!I found this game super fun to play! Cool visuals and sound design, and the game over sound is so good haha. It took me a few to get used to the controls, so I died a few times in the beginning, but once you get the hang of it, it's gold. Good job!

Hospiral: Nursing LoopGames about breaking records are cool.It was quite difficult for me to control, even though this is a trick of the game, but I would like the movement itself to be a little more responsive.Good job!

Life for speedThanks for the feedback, totally hear you that the controls feel chaotic at first.
In case you end up trying again... One trick I've found helps quite a bit is to keep my mouse close to the character. In fact, if you keep it directly below the character and use it mostly for upward movement (downward shootnig), you can then use A & D for your left/right movement and the controls start to feel really good. The chaotic nature of the controls was something we intentionally chose, but have found that with more playtesting movement actually becomes pretty stable pretty quickly.
No matter the circumstance you would get away from those hands

Submerged OperationsI like the graphic style and sound effect. It is very juicy :3 It was hard to shoot enemy and also go up. Maybe nice to see more power up and change hero controls? Hands is funny and add more challenges. Good job :)

Health ManagerMore power ups were on the wish list of things we wanted to add, but unfortunately time didn't allow. Only 72 hours, oof! Thanks for trying our game.
To your point about different controls, we debated adding a "space bar" jump command to make vertical movement easier, but after several sessions of playtesting and getting used to the physics we started to find the tradeoff of shooting & movement being on a single control created some really interesting gameplay moments. And, with practice, it's definitely possible to get some really compelling moments from the existing controls that mix skillshots with finessed movement. The highest score we've seen so far is 135k (about a 10-minute session!) So, survival and mastering the conrtols is definitely possible!
Very fun game! I felt the controls little weird, maybe some adjust in force and physic make it better, but still very fun to play, i really liked the squish and the "hands" haha

Jump to HealthReally cool game. Probably too hard for me though lol. Skill issue fr. On my first playthrough I kept falling back down for a while without penalty, so I was like, "It'd be nice if they forced you to keep going up somehow" then I saw the mass of hands come up lol.

Cold Cold Chasm ClimberHa! Yeah, the hands were a late addition, and I'm glad we were able to get them in. For a while it was just a bar of death, and we wanted to add something that made you feel some urgency to go up, but not so urgent that you can't be thoughtful about your movement. Glad you gave our game a try. If you have time, give it a few more goes, I bet you'll get a hang of the physics before you know it~!
Super cool game, the art is amazing, controls feel juicy and chaotic but not too chaotic, easy best game for me

ChillTowerThis is a really nutty game. The soundtrack is so at odds with the overall body horror that is this game if you really stop to think about it. Pretty tho. Check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
