This is a great little Getting-over-it-Like. You gave it its own style, the claw makes it really forgiving and the torch gave a great sense of atmosphere and depth to the 2.5d space. I was very excited when i saw the 3d model scans in there! Very cool entry, thanks for jamming ✨

Developer

Hey, thank you for checking it out! I'm glad you liked it.

man, what a nice game this is. the atmosphere is sooo good here. i wish i had more patience to play longer :D
One thing that really bothered me personally is that the grip of the robot is not perfect. so sometimes when i was holding on to a ledge the robot would let go.
That plus maby some background ambience or music are my onlly complains. really enjoable experience!

Developer

Hey, thank you for checking it out! I did add some ambience, but maybe it's too quiet haha

Submitted

Sorry. Then I'll correct my rating real quick

Nice game man! This feels like the type of game people would play on stream.

Developer

Thank you! I did base the level design on Getting Over It so I'm glad that influence comes through

Submitted

I love this! Great SFX! Very polished! I am impressed. Well done :)

Developer

Thank you for checking it out!

When I fell 4 minutes in again in the start room I rage quitted, I know there is an audience for this type of game but  it ain't me unfortunaly. Still, it's polished, has its aesthetic, it might be worth to continue develop.

Hey, thank you for the feedback! I think I should have gotten one or two playtesters to check the game out first, turns out it's pretty tough to balance a game for difficulty when youre the only person on the team haha

Nice game!

I've been stuck in the room just after the second moving platform...

The first time the robot's head hit the wall and made me fall made me laugh... the tenth time: rage quit 😄

Developer

Hey, thanks for checking it out! :)

I could definitely imagine my favorite streamer playing this. Nice game!

Developer

Thank you!! That's the highest form of praise for a Foddian game :)

I still don't know what the secret is, but the moment I found out about the grab, my life changed considerably!

Developer

Yeah, to be honest I kinda dropped the secret aspect of the prompt haha, I originally had the idea that it would be something like "aliens made the pyramids" but I decided to focus on polishing the gameplay instead. Thank you for checking the game out, I appreciate it! How far did you get without the grab?

after i got to the big slide and jumped and it dropped me in the start my sanity had enough. i really like that movement mechanic though

Developer

Thank you for checking it out! :)

As an Egyptian I never thought of playing Getting over it in ancient temple . Wondurful game bro

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I originally had the idea of theming it around the clockwork prompt, but I thought that might be too similar to that one section in A Difficult Game About Climbing, so I switched to the ancient Egypt theme.
