Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to look at it again in the future heres the vod timestamped to your game

Movement feels extremely satisfying and it makes the platforming an exercise in figuring out the coolest combination of moves that you can pull to get across. I got lost at the last checkpoint on the peak, but other than that, I felt that the level design was very clear on where to next and how to get there.

Super fun game.  I would love the option to make left muse click activate the dash instead of double tapping forward.  I definitely got lost at the very end, but I knew where to go the rest of the time.  I like the surreal visuals.

Thanks for submitting this to the stream! The movement is very fluid and feels good. The environment is also really cool and the platforming challenges are fun.

Good job!

Very good control and movement. The in game hints is also extremely helpful. The music and sfx is on point too. I would like to see a bit more map design that shows me the correct way to go. Since a lot of the texture looks similar, I sometimes get confused on which way I need to go.

15 min first run, no bugs, fun mechanics, maybe needed a bit more gameplay variation, but 96hrs it is what it is! Very well done, really fun game

I really loved the controls of this game! Everything was really smooth and satisfying. Really cool submission. I just wish it was more clear on where to go in terms of level design. Other than that, really great job! Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3 vod Day 3!!

really impressive just how smooth you got the gameplay in such a small period of time! It feels really good to play!

My first try was a little over 15 minutes and with help from the dev in chat :D

But I really enjoyed this game, even though I don't usually play platformers! Nice style and interpretation of the theme by "scaling" the mountain :D

I'll definitely come back and try to beat my PB later

Very nice platformer that you can spend hours on to just chill out while figuring out how to simply scale certain platforms! Well done!

Super fun and very nice combination of mechanics to make a super interesting precision platformer. Length was great and found it to be very rewarding. I was a bit confused on how running up the wall worked but besides that everything was very clear! Awesome work and great entry!

The physics look and feel great, and I love the vibe. Overall feel like some of the blocks could be colored differently to help with the obviousness of where to do all the directed tricks, and also for the background blocks that aren't meant to have use could stand to look more different from some blocks that you *can* use. Overall, really well done! Thanks to the dev who came in to my stream with this one, really loved it! Sorry my motion sickness had me quitting so soon ^^;

- Will also say that gamepad support would make this a lot more playable for folks like me.

Really enjoyed playing through this. A solid parkour platformer. I liked how it gradually added more and more technicality and types of moves/jumps. All of the movement felt good and perfectly weighty/momentum-y. I think I managed to get to the end but I get motion sick quite easily and had to stop eventually (not the game's fault, mind, so I'm not marking it down because of that). Otherwise this was a really fun entry. Excellent work!

Good job! Definitely a hard one, but the mechanics are super solid and you guys made a neat understandable level/world

*that* part is going to haunt my dreams :-: but a super well done game. I really enjoyed playing it

So I actually loved this game. Like a lot. The momentum feels great, the movement options are fantastic, the slow progression of introducing mechanics and mixing them up is great, the bouncing is actual dopamine.

My real only gripe is how its only relation to the theme is the pun of scaling the mountain and nothing particularly out of the box comes out of it. Now mind you, that might be just fine and not really a huge deal, I know it's not stopping me from making this game one of my favorites this jam.

Movement felt super fluid and almost always just worked as I expected! Probably the most fun/engaging game I have played so far :)

i like the colours !!! very fluid movement, and liked the slow introduction of mechanics. sometimes i was a little unsure of where to go! but other than this, generally rewarding experience

Submitted(+1)

Loved the visuals (that look nothing like Minecraft), music was nice, SFX were satisfying. The controls and character was smooth as butter. Despite being shockingly bad at this type of game, I never felt like the game cheated me, so bloody good job. There were a few little technical things, like camera drift when not moving, but nothing that affected gameplay in any significant. Great work, very impressed.

Super fun, I made it to the top in 15min. Very fun mechanics for the jumping and parkouring around.
