Really really great game! Incredible idea and very well made. The amount of polish here is really impressive :)
I love the art style, the music is really fitting too. I love the checkpoint placements and the game ramps up really nice as the game progresses. The secrets and coins to grab really made it a complete package.
Amazing game dude, well done!
Thank you! Glade you liked it :)
One of my favorite games of the jam so far.
Feels like a good NES game, but not in a superficial way. Great art, mechanics, and level design.
Also difficulty well paced.
Bravo!
Thanks! I love NES era ;)
Really amazing! The mechanics feel so refined. The balance between control and lack of control when swinging is a particular stand out for me. But the regular jumping, the wall jumping, the pickaxe all feel great.
The environmental puzzles feel effortless too.
One the best entries for the theme as well. I really felt the cavers depending on each other and trusting each other.
Thank you! I wanted their connection to be a part of their identity :)
So fantastic! Really great polish from the sounds to mechanics, physics, and level design. Steller game, great work!
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback! :)
Overall great package. I particularly liked the music. It fit the look and pace of the game perfectly.
Thank you! So happy to hear my music isn't insta-muted lol
Amazing game! I had such fun playing this. It was really awkward at first but once I got a hang of the controls it was a blast trying to climb my way over obstacles. I love the art style chose for this, with limited palette and the colors making everything super clear!
Thanks for your feedback! Looks like getting the "hang" of the physics is a common thing so your not alone :) Glad you got it and had some fun. Thanks.
Incredible game! The game design and game mechanic was SO juicy. I'd make a full game out of this for sure. I know this is a cool 8 bit design but I think more color, light, etc will turn it commerical. But it might just be me. Great job.
I'm definitely thinking about more. I appreciate your feedback. I actually need to address the "lighting" because it costs more (performance) than it should, I just rolled with it for the jam. Thanks again.
Probably one of my favorite games so far. Felt really nice playing, loved your work, nothing to comment about it!
Thanks! ^_^ 🙏
Super fun and fluid! The coins are a fun challenge.
Thanks! The coins are fun to use when designing too because if something is a little hard or out of place, you can stick a coin there!
As an addict of Celeste I absolutely loved this game! The swinging physics felt absolutely amazing to use!
Thanks! Celeste is a huge inspiration, so many good things to say about it!
I love the concept and the 8bit palette, good job! well done!
Thanks! I love retro palettes!
A simple premise done excellently well!
Thanks! :)
every thing about this game is good
Thank you! I appreciate your feedback! ^_^
Awesome game! Very nice concept and controls. Sometimes it gets weird to do a 180 around the "pivot" character, but I understand that it must be hard to do this mechanic. I liked that they can break walls using the "J" mechanic and the game design was fantastic. Art and sound are spot on as well.
Great job!
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback! I have some things to consider with the swing mechanic.
Absolutely loved the game! I'm not usually one for super retro, but this one nailed it! I can see why it is in the top 3 right now!
Thanks, so happy you loved it!!! I didn't even know about those filters! How cool!

Thank you! I guess I've had a bit of practice with this style of game :) I definitely have some more ideas for gameplay, we'll see how it goes :)
Very cute artstyle and a fun game mechanic! Well done!
Thanks! I appreciate your feedback! :)
