I don't normally play games like these. This was really cool!

Submitted

Took me a while to figure out some things about the game design but it's really fun and enjoyable, after i figured it out was really good.

nice job ^^

Submitted

It was fun and enjoyable to play, but the easy difficulty wasn't THAT easy for me.. :D I also liked the "random factor", I just didn't know if I make my turn, will the rock falls on me or that little bastard shoots me :D Good job :)

Submitted

It took me a minute to figure out I could navigate the rock faces that had markings. I was assuming those were blocked for some reason.

I enjoyed the challenge of the game. It wasn't too easy, but still winnable. Thanks for a great entry!

Developer

Oh yeah, actually you want to climb on them. They are "Cracked Rock" and is easier to climb. You use less energy when climbing it, and if you wait in cracked rock, it burns no energy.

I liked the idea and it was fun to play! And I really like stylization of the game

Submitted

Haha this was a difficult game, but it was pretty fun! Liked the little comments after death!

Submitted

Really hard but fun game! Easy to understand, and challenging (in a good way)

HostSubmitted

That was really fun! I loved the turn-based nature of it and the random levels it generated felt good to play each time! The little comments after you dies were funny and I also loved the death sound :D Very nice work!

Developer

Thanks!

Fantastic work, this is a really cool idea. :D I can't believe you did so much in such a short period of time! Seriously impressive, dude!

Developer

Wow thanks! Here I felt it was missing content because of all the stretch goal items I was hoping to get in that time didn't permit!

I'm just way impressed you got all those menus in and multiple levels. You did a great job!

nightmare diffidently  lived up to its name for this one.

Developer(+1)

yeah, due to time limit, nightmare wasn't tested much. I basically just doubled all the values for hard and only added a little more to the energy cap. 

Submitted

Great Job! I like that you implemented different levels of difficulty (although I couldn't beat Nightmare difficulty)

Submitted

Nice game! Really cool that you had time to implement different levels of difficulty.

Submitted

Really nice :)

Amazing work! This is way more finished than mine! And it's fun!
