This was a great submission, particularly given the time taken, congratulations!

The concept was great and really worked within the context of the gameplay. I think you did a great job designing the pole to complement the adventure-platformer vibes, as that could easily have dominated and turned it into a puzzle-platformer.

Great art style, the music fit nicely and the opening UI was decent. My two critiques would be that the pole was a little bit too slow for my liking and I would have liked for there to be checkpoints in-game so that I didn't have to restart the whole level again (note: I didn't test whether save spawning was doable or not as it has only just occurred to me lol).

Overall, I had good fun and there is definitely enough here to work with going forward, if you wished. I hope you get more eyes on the game, though this close to the deadline, I sadly think that is unlikely.

Hey there!
So sorry for the late reply!
Firstly, thank you so very much for giving our little game a go, it means a lot and your feedback means even more.

I completely agree with your critiques, and had we managed our time a bit better, we definitely would've gotten there as it's things we've said internally as well! 

Thank you once again for your fantastic feedback.

Regards,

Oats

No worries, and I can only apologise for my game ranking higher than yours when yours clearly had more game in it!

Let me know if you intend to continue development, as I'd be interested in playing further iterations of this game for sure!

Increasing length of the movable wall is very neat concept.
I really like how character grab the wall!
