Love the concept, really fun game. Like the comment below, would love to be able to do mid-air explosive tricks. Really enjoyed the sound effects and music as well. Great job from your team (we may actually have a mutual friend). My only nitpick (although it could just be me) is not fully understanding how it fit the theme fully, having said that it was a fun and amusing game.
Thanks for the feedback! On the theme, I guess a lot of the humour is in the form of climbing-related in-jokes, but I found the idea of launching your own body as a projectile onto a cliff inherently funny, especially with how the combination of limb attachment and physics simulation works in our little prototype. Thanks for the compliments on the audio. The base ambience is pretty much lifted from a library and made to loop seamlessly, but the rest was all designed and/or composed in the jam, being one of our main focuses in the jam (mine at least). Thanks again for the kind words!
Interesting concept, straight to the point, and was somewhat amusing. I eventually managed to achieve gold, but I’m not sure if there is a ‘next level’ or if the greyed-out ‘next level’ button is part of the joke.
I kinda do wish the chalk bag had some physics and didn’t need to be detonated on the ground though, somewhat missed potential for some mid-air explosive jumping tricks (like you could jump, drop it, and detonate whilst it’s falling, propelling you further).
But still, interesting concept, mildly amusing, and functional.
Thanks for the feedback. A throwable chalkbag would be a nice touch for sure. The greyed out next level button was due to our intention of having multiple levels, and not removing the button when we de-scoped the game mid-jam. If it ends up being funny, that's a happy accident! Knowing that your own game also makes use of the amusing characteristics of physics simulation, I'm sure you can also appreciate the humour in happy accidents!
