How does your game represent "Power"?
The player character needs to get more powerful to overcome obstacles and climb high to reach the end of each level. There is a literal "Power" meter that fills when you collect protein shakes and the end goal is for Cliff to retrieve all his golden dumbbells - y'know, a thing that when used increases a person's power.

The climbing gameplay is very cool. I feel like having the same controls for holding on and moving left and right while in "platformer mode" doesn't really work and would have loved if the game was just focused on climbing.
The intro was awesome as well!
Pretty innovative controls! Once I got used to them it was fun to swing around like I'd been doin it all my life. I adore the aesthetic, really takes me back to the early days of flash games / animation :)
the opening cutscene is so sick, I really love the animation! the mechanics are also super interesting, a little finnicky to get the hang of tho - overall great job!
Damn, an opening cutscene in a jam game, that's crazy impressive!
Game was interesting, but I couldn't figure out rock throwing at all, unfortunately, so I didn't beat it. :/
Sorry about that mechanic, it's not very intuitive. The idea is to place the first hand near the pile (either left or right hand is fine, as long as the other hand makes contact with the pile during the rotation), and when the second hand is over the pile, press the button to grip with the second hand. Release the button for the second hand to throw the rock.
I liked the cutscenes, :) The Game got hard extremely fast and a bit frustrating. But definitely a good and memorable game!
Very fun and creative take on the theme as well as a great game! Gameplay was difficult but very rewarding once you manage to clear a section of a level or get that last climb XD
I loved the art, gameplay was good, and it was challenging :3, i really hope you guys keep building the game in the future beacuse is really good!!!
man this game is hard lol. the cutscene was funny and cool, i liked it. and the idea of climbing in this way is quite innovative and cool but i suck at it unfortunately. great job!
While there are frustrating things like not being able to rotate when you've hit a wall, or just every key interaction, or some softlocks, this game was amazing.
I really enjoyed the humor, the gameplay, and the flash game feel of everything. There was quite a lot of content too, although I have no idea how to beat some of these times. The cutscenes were great, and I had a blast playing through this, even if I lost my mind during the space levels. Fantastic entry.
fun game with great humor. I was enjoying myself most of the time, however interacting with the keys was sometimes far from the fun I had flinging myself around. I think the reason for it is that they had no (or almost no) friction and so they kept rolling around. I did feel quite powerful whenever I was lvl 4 or 5!
Interesting game with some very unique movement mechanics. It was pretty tough to get the hang of but I think maybe glitched for me sometimes as I couldn't always jump when I wanted to when climbing. Or maybe I just didn't understand the mechanic. I also had a hard time with the rock throwing portion, I couldn't figure out how to pick up a rock without immediately dropping it so I ended up just jumping at the buttons. But overall I think this is a cool game, the art style is funny and there are some unique cool ideas here. Good work overall.
Nice! Innovative controls and a fresh take on the climbing genre of games, you can even throw rocks in this one 0_0
The intro cutscene also reminds me of one of my favorite youtubers Crazy Boris Productions :O
This is my favorite take on climbing if you haven't seen it yet, you might enjoy it: Klifur by Torfi
