I suck at this game ha. Loved the art.

Developer

thank you

Submitted

The controls are very finicky and really hard to get used to, and the swinging mechanic felt a bit off. If these were polished a bit more I think the game would feel a lot better! Try experimenting with game juice and game feel, adding extra effects and player feedback to actions goes a long way in making things feel good! Decent concept though :)

Developer

Thank you, we originally had sound in the game which would already have gone a long way for making the game feel more juicy but for some reason they were lagging out the web player a lot so we had to remove them right before the deadline. But adding some particles and screen shake would have been smart yeah.

Submitted

The climbing and vine climbing are great and fun ideas but the controls and weirdness of some movement makes it really difficult to pick up and play.  I think improving those would really further the game.

Developer

thanks for the advice!

Submitted

It reminds me of the difficulty of celeste. I like it.

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it :)

Submitted

It's a bit uneasy to climb by holding to buttons and the ropes sometimes stick to a position but overall pretty nice concept

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted

controles wierd but good game

Developer

thanks, glad you liked it :)

Submitted

Enjoyable, even if a bit uncreative. Controls took a bit of getting used to.

Developer

they are a bit janky yeah, thanks for playing despite that.

Submitted

Maybe not the most creative, but definetly enjoyable and masterfully exected.

Developer

thanks

Submitted

It's a bit complicated to control but I liked the variety of mechanics and how they worked together! Good job!

Developer

thank you very much

Submitted

Nice work with your submission. I like your twist on the interpretation of the theme. Maybe the controls could have been simpler?

Developer

thanks for playing, and yeah they realdly do need an improvement, we  sadly just ran out of time. d

Submitted

The graphics are neat. Singing mechanic was just the right level of challenging. Nice Work.

Developer

Developer

thank you very much

Submitted

Fun game, rope hard, GREAT JOB <3

Developer

thank you

Submitted

I liked the game! The rope swing was a little tricky to use, but it was quite fun. It could have leaned more into scaling things I think, but it was still a nice playthrough! :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much

Submitted

The swinging mechanic was cool!

Developer

thanks

Submitted

Cool concept and I really liked the level design. The game has a lot of features and mechanics! Good job!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I like the concept but like others have said, very difficult to control

Developer

thanks for playing!

Submitted

I like the level design in this. The rope is a touch difficult to use, maybe just some adjustments to the mechanics and some polish and this would be an awesome game!

Developer

Thanks for playing, yeah we know its a bit wonky spendt a lot of time trying to get it better but just couldn't get it right before the deadline.

Submitted

Good game, really unique take on the theme. I also noticed there was no music or sounds for me, but that could have been an issue on my end.

Developer

Thanks for playing, We originally had music and sound but right before the deadline we found out it lagged out the game so we had to get rid of it.

Submitted

Love the artstyle, the rope is a bit wonky had to put on my gamer hat to get up this mountain

Developer

thank you :)
