Simple concept but it is easy to understand the theme in the game. I also love the music here - slow but full of energy, pretty fit for the turtle climb in my opinion.

that's super fair criticism and something i noticed myself too, just didn't really get to retouch a lot of the earliest level design.
Really the only safe-ish area is right after you climb up the mountain, and even then there is definitely a possibility to fall back to the very beginning. Hope the frustration gave you some enjoyment anyway since it is indeed part of the point of the game :)
1300 is pretty good honestly, the fact that you autojump when the bar is full is indeed purely for difficulty reasons, since most jumps don't really require a lot of direction changes.
I hope you at least enjoyed it a bit through the frustration. There is a little bit of a hack you can do to keep hanging on though, and that is by tapping the jump button, you can release and grab the same anchor point without ever leaving it :)
Thanks for the comment and feedback

Extra steps is not always a bad thing given it's an arcade game, also the level of commitment is different in the two scenarios and the point of the game is to be a precision based experience.
