I think my que of games were just filled with bangers because this was great and I have to say one of the most fun to play. I found myself actually really enjoying the climb once I got a fill for how far the player is launched. The moving windows were dirty :-P. I got to floor 7.
Thanks for playing! Congrats on making it to floor 7, I think that's my best as well.
I get it... SCALE the tower! :D
Love the idea, and the animation are really smooth! Probably one of the best I played so far
Hard. but fun. Good work!
The overall experience is super smooth and simple yet very engaging (i didn't not expected that) so very cool !!
If you port this to Android/iOS, I'm sure it will become very popular! Great game.
Very good game play, simple and understandable! Had a great time playing!
What a great game. The music and sound effects were just perfect! Loved the style, loved the graphics. I played this one a long time. Such a great game!
god, this game is so well done !
Polish is amazing (love the arm getting "angry" on full force !)
The loop is realy chalanging, learning curve is perfect, the timer that resets in between with the extra time is realy clever !
Made me feel again the Jump King vibes !
Realy great work, a 5/5 on my side !
I'm glad you liked it! It was indeed one of the game I had in mind when thinking about the mood.
Quite a fun climbing experience!
Love the music, simple but addictive gameplay loop. Nice one!
Loved the art and music of it! Very fun game, congrats! Reminded me of Getting Over It when I missed the last jump and had to start all over again hahaha
Fun little idea, the sfx were weird but kind of worked. The grab timing was a little unforgiving it felt like, would love to see more depth to the game rather than just an ever increasingly tall tower
Really fun game, enjoyed the music a lot. The wind mechanic was a fun way to change up the game flow, nice work
Nice concept. I loved the weird music and the style of the game, but it does feel a bit hard to get the grab timing right.
Sometimes the character felt like it moved way too quickly to grab a ledge (particularly if it was close to you). Having a bullet-time ability would have made that less frustrating, but understand it takes away from the difficulty a bit.
Thanks for the feedback! My intent was to force players to use both the aim and the strength of the jump correctly so that they reach the apex of the jump right on the ledge, which makes the grab easy (passing by a ledge super fast is intended to be hard, cause you already messed up the jump probably). Now I think this would have still worked with a larger grab range, and especially easier level design overall.
Really loved the art and awesome vibes! The models look great and the concept reminds me a bit of Mount your friends — awesome job :)
That was indeed the inspiration for the gameplay loop. I think I spent too much time on the models actually, but I'm glad they look nice ahah! Thanks for playing!
Beautiful game, and I liked the unusual music. I did get a bit frustrated with the shoot and grab mechanic, maybe for noobs you could hint at the best time to grab. It would be funny to see the guy falling back to the bottom after building the next section.
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah these kind of game are always a struggle to balance in a short time, I should have spend less time on models on more on playtests. There are some hints (blue outline on the climbing holds when grabbable, and the red bubble showing the range on miss) but it's not fine tuned.
Very fun game. I wish I had managed to even once grab a ledge while falling all the way down. My compliments to the workers in this game for their effort of jumping up there with rocks :) Great game!
Ahah that can be hard. I had planned to make the grab area bigger when falling, and other things like that, but I ran out of time. I should have added more sections with many things to grab to save yourself tho, that would have been an easy-no code improvement.
Great stuff! Good job!
Thanks! It does have music tho during the gameplay. You may have toggled it Off on the main menu (when it's silent anyway so you can't tell, and the icon does not update, that can be confusing...).
youre right, my bad!
Very well done, can’t wait to see more! 5/5! If you get a chance, rate my project too!
I'm glad you liked it! I had more planned, but as always time got the best of me.
I'll try yours after a small screen break!
