Very fun and the style is very unique (especially the sounds, top notch work!)
thank you!
I enjoyed it a lot ! Made it to the top in 01:48 ! 😎
This could be a neat smartphone game !
yippee!! i'm glad you enjoyed it :) haha i also thought about that but maybe in the future
The skill checks got monotonous quickly. Kind of wish less inputs were required. If I could keep clicking rocks and just clear a lane of inputs as I go, I think that would make for more engaging gameplay. The artwork was cool and cohesive though. So brownie points for style!
thank you for playing and for your feedback!
That was alright! The art is rough, but charming and readable. The mechanics are basic, but well-executed. Good work!
i appreciate the feedback!
I'm a rock climber so I really like this game, though I think you should get money based on height instead of clearing holds. By getting money for clearing holds, I'm not focusing on getting as high as possible or making risky jumps - I just jump around in circles on the lower heights.
thank you for playing and your feedback! that's a great idea, i did realize that people could just go around in circles on the lower heights, but I couldn't think of a easier solution for the player to gain money. but I might just do that in a post-jam update :)
Very fun game with creative art. Only issue I encountered is that upon respawning sometimes the closest rock has a skill check with 8+ arrows. Which is quite a lot. But nothing big, since you just respawn again and quickly start playing again.
thank you for playing and your feedback! yeah after the jam ended, I realized how I could fix the difficulty scaling haha
distinct art, questionable control scheme and interesting experience!
i appreciate it!
Really fun style! Love the voice clips too haha
thank you!
This game is really cool! The art style is so cute! I don't think I have the reaction speed to make it to the top though!
i appreciate it! if you get the upgrades in the shop, it helps a lot with the climb so it's not as difficult and punishing :)
I like the sound effects when you fail!
thank you!
Oh frick!!
That was really fun
thank you!
Cool idea and really cozy art style! I loved the little exclamations the character makes when you fall too! Sometimes the game's difficulty would spike way too high tho. Otherwise, great work!
i'm glad you enjoyed it! yeah the skill checks range in difficulty based on how far the rock is from you, so it's a bit of risk and reward! thank you!
As we go around rating games, we always aim to provide and receive thoughtful feedback, though it’s rare to find a game that’s truly enjoyable. Your game was a refreshing exception—I had genuine fun playing it. It’s a fantastic entry with a solid idea that uniquely fits the theme, and the art complements it perfectly. Great job!
i appreciate the articulate review, thank you!
Art style is super charming, love the fact that it's difficult but not impossible. Sound effect are funny, and add more to the game. Overall a really fun experience. Great job!
thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it :) if you get the upgrades in the shop, it becomes much easier to climb!
very noice
thank you!
I really enjoyed this! Gives me strong vibes of me failing to be good at bouldering haha! Great job!
glad you enjoyed it! haha yeah i get that, bouldering is not the easiest (from my experience)
A great idea and fun game. Love the sound effects.
thank you, i appreciate it!
Love the sounds, very fun
i appreciate it!
The sound of character when he fell is top notch. every time i hear it, it makes me laugh.
For the gameplay, it was addicting and competitive when aiming for the highest score.
I recommend to adjust the timer based on the difficulty or it's just a skill issue :D :D
i'm happy to hear that the sfx were amusing haha! can I ask what color rock you ended up getting to or were you able to beat it? :0
yeah I had some comments about the initial difficulty which I realize I could've adjusted accordingly, but I kept playing it and got better through development so I figured it was okay, but definitely something I will keep in mind moving forward!
My hand and I coordination sucks HAHAH! after multiple tries , i've got to the green rock part only :D
I lost to my friend Noah and Millie and am permanently traumatized
it's okay! beat it using less chalk and carabiners and you will emerge victorious
