Is this Bennett Foddy Jr?  I caught some major "Getting Over It" vibes from this one.  :)

Excellent voice over work here, and some clever gameplay mechanics.  Didn't really seem to have anything to do with the theme though unless I missed something?

Bravo on completing something original and playable in only 48 hours.  Look forward to seeing your other creations in the future!

This was a really  good game! I really liked the voiceovers that you gave as well as the simple, but quite challenging movement.  I found that it was quite hard to get mad at an error that I made when trying to get up a wall with the game having such a pleasant  atmosphere. Really nice job!

I. Have. Dedication.

Wow! This was a great experience! The sound was incredible, and the "story" / messaging was actually pretty awesome - as game devs, dedication matters more than anything else. And I did make it to the end, which I'm very proud of!

As far as feedback, I don't quite see the tie to the Jam's theme. I know you mention it in the narration... but it feels like a bit of a stretch... Also, the red color was kind of hard to tell apart from the pink color sometimes, which wasn't a huge deal, just a slight color tweak would fix that one.

I really loved the game. In fact this is my favorite game from the Jam so far, and the one I've spent the most time with too. I quite like the format, and the controls felt good as I got better with them and learned what I can do. I have a bumper sticker on my car that features a shirtless man in a cast-iron kettle holding a sledge hammer, if that tells you anything...

This is relaxingly and pleasantly difficult and frustrating haha great work! :)

Great game you got here. I could see this being a really good foundation for a full fledged game. The mechanics were a little difficult to get the hang of and unfortunately I was not able to master them but I thought they were a really solid and unique idea for movement. The mechanics and ambience were definitely best part of this game. The only thing was I didn't really see how it connected to the theme. I may have missed something because I couldn't get very far (I'm not very good at video games lol) but the parts I did get through were thoroughly enjoyable! The music and voice overs were great, felt a lot like Getting Over It (which is another game I never finished because I'm bad at games) and I also appreciated the jokes. You've got something good here, for sure!

Admittedly, it took a moment before I understood the mechanic. But once I got the hang of it, it was fun! Mixing pushing and pulling made for some simple but solid gameplay. Voiceover was a nice touch, too. You've got a good voice for that kind of narration.

My favorite game of the jam so far. I made it all the way to the end somehow. It felt like you were talking to your future self, achieving their dreams. Just wow. Absolutely amazing job.

Love your voiceover!!! So much, esp. "and a mouse - you're definitely going to need a mouse" lol so funny.  Great music choice. Very soft and pleasant to listen to. Calming... esp. good for such a frustrating game lol ;p I tried very hard to play this, but I am not really sure what to do at some points. Probably the point of the game ;p. A game like this needs a lot of time. exploration and dedication to figuring out what to do. I wasn't able to use a pull force with the right mouse click. Not sure if that was a bug or if it only works sometimes etc. The orb was green which says you should be able to pull or push.... so idk. I made it to the red wall and just died (reset). Over. and Over. and OVER. lol I can't figure out how to get passed that. I found it really hard to go backwards all the time. I fell off a lot. hahaha It was especially hard to go backward at that red wall. I kept touching it and dying (resetting).  I really, really liked it overall. Vey unique idea. Difficulty (aka Frustration ;p) keeps people playing. And makes for a huge sense of accomplishment when completing (hope someday to complete this game of yours!!!) The only thing I am not really sure about is how it fits the theme of "the golden rule" ... ?  Good job!

Beautiful music, a soft voiceover, and challenging physics presented in a unique playstyle. Great job, man.

I really enjoyed the games atmosphere!  The use of audio and telling of a story was so well done!  :)

Wow. True originality, I'm really impressed. I loved your mechanics, they're all awesome. I had a fun time playing it, I forgot it was from a game jam. Amazing game, keep up the great work (also, the voice acting is a nice touch)

Wow, this game is really unique! The voice over is awesome and funny! I love it!

i need to play this as soon as i get onto my windows box :)

Epic game, very good gameplay. Hard for a noob like me though.
