Oh frick!!
That was really fun
thank you!
Cool idea and really cozy art style! I loved the little exclamations the character makes when you fall too! Sometimes the game's difficulty would spike way too high tho. Otherwise, great work!
i'm glad you enjoyed it! yeah the skill checks range in difficulty based on how far the rock is from you, so it's a bit of risk and reward! thank you!
As we go around rating games, we always aim to provide and receive thoughtful feedback, though it’s rare to find a game that’s truly enjoyable. Your game was a refreshing exception—I had genuine fun playing it. It’s a fantastic entry with a solid idea that uniquely fits the theme, and the art complements it perfectly. Great job!
i appreciate the articulate review, thank you!
Art style is super charming, love the fact that it's difficult but not impossible. Sound effect are funny, and add more to the game. Overall a really fun experience. Great job!
thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it :) if you get the upgrades in the shop, it becomes much easier to climb!
very noice
thank you!
I really enjoyed this! Gives me strong vibes of me failing to be good at bouldering haha! Great job!
glad you enjoyed it! haha yeah i get that, bouldering is not the easiest (from my experience)
A great idea and fun game. Love the sound effects.
thank you, i appreciate it!
Love the sounds, very fun
i appreciate it!
The sound of character when he fell is top notch. every time i hear it, it makes me laugh.
For the gameplay, it was addicting and competitive when aiming for the highest score.
I recommend to adjust the timer based on the difficulty or it's just a skill issue :D :D
i'm happy to hear that the sfx were amusing haha! can I ask what color rock you ended up getting to or were you able to beat it? :0
yeah I had some comments about the initial difficulty which I realize I could've adjusted accordingly, but I kept playing it and got better through development so I figured it was okay, but definitely something I will keep in mind moving forward!
My hand and I coordination sucks HAHAH! after multiple tries , i've got to the green rock part only :D
I lost to my friend Noah and Millie and am permanently traumatized
it's okay! beat it using less chalk and carabiners and you will emerge victorious
I beat my friend Jingyu, and Millie
the winner! :D
this game is soooo addictive oh my gosh! my entire team and I couldn't stop playing until we all beat the game hahaha. this is really great. and very clever use of the theme! :)
YAY! i'm glad your whole team got to enjoy the game :)
how many chalk and carabiners did it take y'all to beat it?
Really funny and hard game, i love it! the art is really cute too hahahad
thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it :) love the MapleStory pfp!
Awesome, really fun, beautifully frustrating when you fall
thank you! i'm glad you were able to find beauty in the frustration haha
Very funny! The sounds are great and you end up loving the art. The difficulty of the number of arrows could be more varied, to give meaning to taking the risk.
i appreciate the kind words!! yeah it was a bit of a challenge to appropriately balance the game cause some believed it was already too hard, but it's okay haha
This is such a silly little game but even so it's so difficult and fun! Good job on making a rage game that I can deal with for more than 10 minutes but AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
haha thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed it for that amount of time :) were you able to beat it?
I have a skill issue, so I got frustrated. planning on coming back to it tonight
beat it! it only took me... 3 carabiners, 5 chalk and 2.5 hours.
YAY! i'm happy to know you beat it :)) thank you for putting so much time into my game, I really appreciate it!
funny enough, I have a small group of friends currently trying to beat the game with no chalk haha
WHA!! good luck to them, I could never!
10/10 sfx
I played it for 5 minutes and already want to rip out my eyes.
haha glad you had an experience :D
I rated as 3/4/5, i'll change it to 5/5/5 in a minute. It's so good
i really appreciate it! let me know if you end up beating the game :)
i'm about to play your submission right now!
I did end up beating it. It was really fun. And thanks for playing our game, but warning: it's almost 2 hours long to beat the first time, and there are four endings.
Lovely game! I usually dont like input combo games but this one was fairly balanced and upgrades make it much enjoyable
i appreciate it!! i'm glad it felt balanced for you :)
A few of our team members got addicted to this game very quickly, the art style is nostalgic and fun. The higher levels are extremely hard which adds a cool mechanic but we aren't sure if its entirely possible! Very good overall, good job!
thank you! i'm glad to hear that some people got addicted haha!
i have some friends who have been able to beat it, but a select few of them are currently going for a no chalk or as little chalk as possible run which has been quite fun to watch haha
I really liked the idea! And the art is really creative!
But I thought the time to press the sequence of buttons were a bit too fast. I fell after climbing 2 times and then the sequence became really big but the time length was the same (if not a little faster?).
But overall a great game! I really liked it!
Congrats!
that's completely understandable, i think i just played the game for a while so started getting better at the skill check. i still had that concern of it being too fast, and opted to mitigate that concern with having an upgrade that increases the time.
thank you for playing!
