A unique concept—I like it. The core gameplay is already solid, and there’s not much that needs changing aside from some polishing. It doesn’t fully capture the “to the top” theme for me yet, as it currently feels more like progressing through levels. You could reinforce the theme by designing the game so the player is clearly working their way upward. After the jam, you could expand it further by adding more varied actions like swimming, diving, swinging, etc. Overall, a good game.

Thank you, I really appreciate that!
The “to the top” idea was meant to come through in the way the character is always moving upward to reach their friends, but I completely understand that it could have been communicated more clearly. At the moment, I can see how it feels more like moving through separate levels rather than one clear upward journey.
I can also see mutlple extras that could be added, like button pushing, backtracking, or double jumping. Something to think on if I keep working on it.
Thanks for playing.
