Probably the best game I've played so far. I like the ZX Spectrum-like aesthetics and smooth animations. What a great concept!

Developer

Wow thank you! I appreciate your feedback!

The gameplay, visuals, and sound really mesh nicely on this one.  Good job

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback!

really good crafted game! Nide Music, good artwork and a nice fit on the theme.

The jump'n'run mechanics feels really good and well defined. Only thing is, i got lost after a couple of minutes, so a small map or an progress indicator would be awesome, but thats only my oppinion.

Overall a really good job!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I guess the darkness caused some problems with navigation?

Perfect! amazing retro vibe! I love everything about the game!!

Thank you! :)

Wow wow wow! I was very impressed by this game all the way through. The mechanics were so nicely implemented with new types of blocks and challenges as the game progressed made for a really fun experience. The amount of polish from the character sprites, to the death particles, to the music and cave generation for a solo effort is really amazing. Can't say enough good things about this, excellent job!

Developer

Wow, thanks so much! ^_^

Probably one of the games I had fun the most in this jam! It felt good to try and master the mechanics and it wasn't that hard to learn it. The later levels were really fun as well when you can have high mobility when swinging. Great game!

Developer

Thanks! Glad you had fun. I appreciate your feedback! :)

The controls are really smooth! Tricky to master but I seem to get the hang of it in the end. Love the minimal use of colors - smart choices!

I was getting quite far and then I accidently pressed R which apparently kills you for no reason and then the character isn't visible anymore. Seems like a bug!

Excellent game it has a lot of potential for expansion!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I don't think I've ever run into that bug, so thanks for the heads up (but yeah R is supposed to kill you just in case lol)

Perfect and fit the theme nothing to say. Congratulation

Developer

Thanks 😁

Really awesome game! Swinging around was super satisfying once you get a hang of it (and it only took a few tries). Really enjoyed the aesthetic and limited color palette as well.

Developer

Glad the swinging wasn't too stressful! Thanks for your feedback!

I really loved the art style. The gameplay felt smooth and fun. Great job!

Developer

Thanks, appreciate your feedback!

The game design is lovely. All the mechanics are easy enough to understand without any explanations. New mechanics show up at a good pace too. Some nitpicks though, I think the spikes should be red and the red tiles should be another color.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I considered a few different color schemes, this is just what I thought looked nice and communicated well.

This was great. Only quirk I didn't like was that holding a direction would start you swinging, but then stop you mid swing. I thought it would be more like Sonic doing a loop - keep holding the original direction to keep the clockwise or anticlockwise motion going.

Developer

I do want to try to make the swinging a little easier, but its kind of tricky because the physics can go a little bonkers. I'd definitely be playing with it more, thanks for your constructive feedback!

Great game man love the swinging mechanic!

Developer

Thanks! Appreciate your feedback!

Very nicely done. Swinging felt good. Controls between the two characters was nice. Great atmosphere and setting.

Developer

Thanks! I appreciate your feedback 😁

Nice! The swinging felt very fluid,  and overall controlling both climbers was a lot easier than I expected.

Developer

Thanks I tried to make it easy and intuitive. 

Submitted(+1)

Really cool idea! I love the art too. It took a surprising amount of coordination to get past the first few screens!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Hope it wasnt too hard to figure out.

Really enjoyable, not sure if I solved any platforming challenges correctly but I think that's part of the fun for a game like this. Great job!

Developer (1 edit)

If you solved them, you solved them correctly 😁 lol

Thanks!
