Adore that art style! 🎨 The gameplay is pretty ok - feels like an good old arcade game. Solid 4/5. 👏
Really cool arcade style game with awesome pixel art and color scheme, I do wish there was some music for the main portion of the game though.
I did encounter a bug where if you held the spacebar down before landing that your character would not want to jump unless you release the spacebar and press it again (hope that makes sense). Other then that everything worked as intended. Great job!
Thanks for digging into it! There IS music during play... that I turned way, way down while testing and never turned back up. It's whispering the beats I guess. Your bug is actually a result of turning off a really mean feature, that if you press and hold spacebar before landing on a ledge (while still jumping) the ledge wouldn't activate and you would fall and die. I turned that off but if you still press early... jumping won't initiate until you release. Great catches.
Great game! and great art!
Hey, I love the art style of your game! It's really fun to play, however I think you should be able to grab ledges quicker to enable faster gameplay. Well done on a great game though! :)
Really cool art and the game is challenging ! Nice work :)
The art is great, and the controls / mechanics are very intuative! This would do really well as a Playdate game
One thing I think would take this to the next level is some sort of combo system
Thanks and yeah! It's completely missing some important bits... like scoring. I'm actually looking forward to turning this one into a complete thought. Combos would fit right in.
Nice take one the theme. Would love to play this on my phone, this would work great for a mobile game!
Simple and clean game, gorgeous art, well done!
mega cool
Interesting idea, especially that you can grab it with one hand and two hands.
the only thing is quite difficult fell on one level - at the very beginning of the first level

Neat retro game
Put this on a CRT monitor and it'd be platinum, because it's already golden!
I tried my darnedest to get the CRT filter to work, but it just wouldn't scan.
Wah, what a shame!
Never thought of scaling in terms of climbing!
Right? It feels archaic to think of it used this way.
