Difficult to get at first. But once, you get it, it is really fun! Maybe add some more clear feedback on when you can grab or not. But this game has a good potential. Well done!

Surely addictive one here! fun and challenging.

Very creative!

Its good and fun. This game can be pretty fun if launched on mobile platform. Wished there was a tutorial round.

Very fun and extremely addictive to get onto the leaderboard!

I appreciated the kind of flow state I got into when perfectly timing the grabs. You managed to get a lot out of just one button press. Great job!

It's really quite precise with the timing for when you grab those boards, to the point of feeling luck-based at times. It didn't immediately click to me that the partially transparent hand meant I couldn't grab onto the board either, especially when you lose after one mistake.

Once you get a hang of the controls and timing, though, it's pretty darn fun! I love the character's swinging motions, and I found myself trying to beat my high score for a little while. Great take on the jam's theme!

Thanks for playing! I am glad you liked it. I am happily surprised that you liked the grab mechanics :) Many people had some problems with it (I also feel it could have been more polish). I put a lot of effort into the theme since I am a climber also hehe.

Others have said but it is tough to know when to grab a board. I think the pump mechanic is pretty cool and overall it is fun to play, just difficult to get a firm grasp on. Solid game.

Developer

As a climber myself, I tried to replicate a bit what I know :P Thanks for the feedback on the grap, I agree it could have been better!

Good game! I still don't quite get when exactly I'm supposed to grab because sometimes I still lose even though the hand was black. But I like the background music and the concept is great! It's also cool that you implemented an online leaderboard. Great job!

Thanks! I know, unfortunately, the "grab" part does not feel 100% right. Happy that you like the other part!

This is great!  Definitely a fun little distraction to rage through a few attempts.  One would think taking the boards 1 at a time would be easier, but since you slow down when reaching, it's actually easier to just skip a bunch of boards in a row.  Got a high score of 96.  My only gripe is there isn't enough visual feedback for when you can grab a board.

Thanks for playing! Nice score! I totally agree with what you said and appreciate your feedback. Will try to make it better in another iteration :)
