Pretty fun, really frantic action platformer, with great music too. Definitely a bit rough around the edges (I find myself getting stuck on ledges really often) but still overall a really fun time! Could definitely see this concept fleshed out!

Cool little game! I liked the very literal interpretation of the theme. Character controls felt pretty good, well done! Effects were a bit much for my taste, especially the screenshake caused me a little nausea. I also sometimes had trouble telling apart foreground and background building parts, though I'm not quite sure why. Overall, a very solid entry!

Scale Jumper Escape the LabyrinthThe game feels exciting, and the platforming is quite smooth. The music choice is great. The timing in some levels might be a little too tight, and the smoke effect often blocks half the screen. The platforming still feels nice. I also like how different platforms and tools were added in the later levels. Well done!

Realm of Scale KingGood mechanic with enough challenge to make it repeatable to play! Love the narrative behind the theme, makes this game like one theme that is really put together. The hard rock music really encapsulates the tension lol. Good job for this game! :)

Break Ouch!Really fun game, the time pressure because of the flame really adds to the gameplay. The only issue is that the jump feels a bit floaty and sometimes you can jump really high when walking on a slope and jumping at the right moment. Other than that, really good!

Doom's DayReally loved the pixel art. The dock animation is so cute <3 made me laugh. The mechanics made it way better, climbing, running to jump higher and the ledge climb does go well with everything.

Gobba LadderNice little platformer with the added speedrunny effect of the flame ! Would have appreciated if the background pillar were a bit less saturated as some times i don't know if they are infront or behind (the red ones can be some times hard to see level 3 in particular)
Good work !

TEPLAFun and challenging! I feel that the jump is very frustrating at times, but maybe that's what you were going for?

Doki Doki GardenThanks! I think this was a bug with my wall checks that sometimes cancels out your jump if you're too close to a wall, I set myself a weekend deadline for submission but hopefully I can fix this up quickly after voting is over. Id have liked the wall climb to work on lower down ledges as well but I think its a related issue
The fact you acheived this in 48 hours is very impressive. Really clean and polished game.
Would be very grateful if you tried our game!
