Climb as high as you can. The barrels can help you, but they can also squish you.

I don't think I've ever played a game like this one. Felt like playing a new take on Tetris, it was quite entertaining! Well done!

fun and simple game! you arent able to move left and right onto other barrels at the same height as the barrel you are standing on without jumping though

Nice job! I love pico 8 games and this one was no exception. I made it to level 7 before I got stuck in a hole :'( Great job. i loved the art and simple but fun gameplay. moving left and right was not always working and i would get stuck in a barrel alot so mainly i just jumped to move. Great job!

Happy you liked it and thanks for the feedback!

Good moment when I found out that jumping at the right moment prevents you from getting hit :D 

I can phase through the barrel if I jumped from under it at the right moment. Is that intentional?

Developer

thanks for the feedback! I did write the collision code from scratch during the jam, so there are some bugs I couldn't fix (in time). It checks if the player is under the barrel when it is a certain distance from the floor/barrel as collision. I noticed it as well during my testing, but didn't have enough time to look into better solutions.

So: not planned, might get fixed if I work on the game again

I enjoyed this game a lot! Very simple, yet engaging. There is a small issue where, if you idle (stay in one place) for too long, all of the directional keys stop working. But other than that, I liked it!

It is definitely something I will look into if I continue working on it.
