it wasn't challenging enough. but we loved that you've used word "Scale" in 2 different ways, very clever!
Really nice game, lovely music and odd but fun ggame mechanics. Good work!
Pretty fun. I would have liked to see a second gamemode where you race against time, since there is not that much a challenge. Otherwise 10/10
It was really fun to play ! sometimes its hard to catch the hand but in general its really fun
Nice game, the controls are a bit difficult to get into at first but i managed. My top score was 116. Took me quite a few tries but i was determined to get post 100. :D
OMG, amazing work!! This was unironically the initial idea I had for this jam, before I quickly moved on to an auto-runner! Was gonna call my character "Skip Lehgday" and everything. Glad you were able to execute on the concept!
I like the gameplay and music. I would have expected something else interrupting my climb, or having something special to do, to bring some surprises or challenges. I noticed the grip points were not always exactly where I would have expected them to be (died a few times even though I was sure I didn't misplaced the hand).
Nice climbing game with excellent graphics! Good job!
Super cool concept and great execution! It was very intuitive and fun. I especially enjoyed the different types of scales. Great use of theme as well. The visuals and audio are very solid too. Great work!
Really fun, with plenty of room for exploration! Would love to see expanded into a finished game someday.
Thanks araarathain, I'm glad you liked it!

Actually so fun game! Nice idea!
Thanks!
