Fun game, Only a little bug: there is no upper limit to the speed if you press "x", I definetively reach the summit of the climb in 4 seconds!!

good basic idea!!

Submitted

Climbed with gear, died. climbed without gear, won. haha

Fun idea, I wish there were "safe points" where you could be protected from the rocks. It would also be fun to make this racing with cpu players.

Submitted

Nice game, but ther is no point on keeping any of your gear. For exmple the first time I played I thrown the gear at the begining to see if this is possible and I just climbed easily to the top. 

Then I played again to see if I get any points by keeping one gear. But nothing changes. There was not throw less to gain more.

If you had some bonus for keeping the gear and be able to score higher from the players who thrown the gear then tho whole point of throwing your gear will had been more meaningful.

Keeping the gear makes you able to climb safely as you can “survive” rock hits.

Ahh haven't tested this one, as I managed to avoid all the rocks. By the way the balance problem still remains as you will have better luck for a high score by removing your gear.

Fun short game! Felt like Honnold for a second :) One thing, I don;t think the rocks should spawn in the viewer screen. It  looks a little off. Nice overall

Developer

Yes good idea. I’ll see if I find a way to spawn them above. Thanks for the suggestion.

I really like the concept, and your interpretation of less is more. I think it would be better if the player could see more of what's ahead of them, because some rocks are just so fast that it feels unfair when you get hit by them.

I also found a bug: everytime you press 'X', even if you have no equipment left, you will increase your speed. So... I ended up with the world record :D


Developer(+1)

Oh shit I didn't see this bug!!!! Thanks I'll test it and correct it today. Less than 2sec, so funny! It is indeed, the world record.

Nice game. I like a sound of falling.

Simple and small game! Easy to pick up, and once you get the hang of it you try to to it faster each time.

game is okay but some rock are too fast I can't even dodge it without any gear.    And once rock spawn on my head   lol

Developer

Yeah, it's kind of the "shit happens" part of the game. Thanks for letting me know about the rock on the head! Not being able to dodge without gear is the idea though. There are ways to avoid all rocks easily most of the time. (by choosing the right path and moving in order to anticipate the rocks).

Nice little entry! Well done!

Cool game. Great gameplay. The art is cool. Good job! Keep it up!

Please check my game as well ;)

Good and Simple. Fits the theme perfectly. I would say that there might be a need to increase the look-ahead distance as in many cases I can't do anything.

Developer(+1)

Yes good idea!

Developer

I increased the cameral level a bit (but can't upload before the end of the jam).
