Aww so cute! As a fellow boulderer, I honestly think Frankenbob belongs at the Olympics b/c I cannot go in that many circles (or even one) and stay on the wall. Nice work!

Amazing little game! Customization was a nice touch. I wasn't sure if I was replaying the same level hard to differentiate until the ending played. I still loved the art style though! Also somehow flipped myself over in a corner before hooking onto something and couldn't get out which was nice that there was a restart button.  I actually accidentally hit the restart button when climbing, maybe making it be the r key and text saying "r to restart" would be a better alternative? Background scrolling was a little slow. Since it's a racing sort of game, it made it hard to go faster than a certain speed. I would love to play a version of this with more variety and scale taller walls!

Really cute game! Loved the intro cutscene of sad frankenbob!

Presentation is the highlight here, good jog

 I wanted to help Frakenbob fullfill his dream but probably due to a bug getting to the button didn't progress the game :(

Fear not! FrankenBob's lil arm needs to attach to the button and then it will progress to the next wall. FrankenBob can still fulfill his dream :)

Unique artstyle!

Frankenbob is very cute.  I also really like the art style! Sometimes one of his hands would end up off the screen and I would get stuck but overall great job!

i  really liked the art direction of your game ! The idea is cool ! good game!

I like the style, there were no critical issues. I would like the camera to move faster and maybe have an indication that the hand will stick to the stone. Good job!

I love the art style of this game! It reminded me of Machinarium. Music visuals and story were all working really well together. I think including a leaderboard could add a lot to this game! The concept of building out your robot is so cool! Keep it up!

Cute af, presentation was rad. This is the first physics based game on the theme that I've seen and it's very creative. The ideas show promise, with the different kind of arms being better/worse at some things. Once I understood the rhythm, it was pleasing to zoom up the wall. Good game!

The story and character design were very sweet, and the switching out the arms mechanic was really creative! 

I do wish the camera would pan up faster, since sometimes I would be waiting for the camera to move upwards, but all together it was a charming and very replayable game!

Quite the literal interpretation of the theme, hehe

Oh! Look at this. This is not something common to see! Scaling a robot is a common idea for scaling but the concept to install small trashes as the arms is so unique and the designs are making so much sense! Also, climbing the wall is another common idea for scaling but using your customized robot to move around gives a lot of flexability to try any of these combinations! However, the physics enginee in the wall climbing definitely needs more tweakings. Can't imagine that you actually made 2 minigames in a row last weekend and combining them makes a perfect story! This is a true innovation.
