Hey, cool entry, congratulations on the jam :)

I didn't get the intro story when the game was started, but I read the description and got the ideia :)

I would put more diversifiers on the climp, perhaps horizontal obstacles like evil birds flying around?

Overral, I enjoyed played your game :)

Hi!

Didn't get the intro scene we can see on the screenshots, but I read the description so I understood the concept. I would say the boss isn't part of the actual game (cutscene) so it feels a bit off to me concerning this limitation.

However, the game has a cool feeling and could totally be deployed on mobile. It's a bit easy (managed to win after a climb of 04:33, first try) even if the difficulty rises the more you play (more stones falling basically).

It lacks of UI indication about your current position, because you don't really know if/when it will ends at some point (num of people/animals to save?).

No sound at all, is it expected?

The stamina thing is alright, but I think it could have been improved a bit like:

When not moving, rest slowly?
Rest faster when standing on a platform?

Didnt get the intro story when i started up but i get the idea. I hate when giant tectonic plates shift in the park and my family is left clinging to life on the side of a cliff! Nice job, fun game!

Give mine a try https://itch.io/jam/vimjam2/rate/1200495
