the game looks are really nice and feel fitting the game sounds great and haveing to "fail" go to the bottom in order to learn how to actually play the game was very interesting take on the theme overall great job.

Developer

Thanks!

cool game but what is the objective?

Developer

The objective is to get to the top, I was planning on adding voice lines to better explain the goal and mechanics but I ran out of time.  There is a guide should you want to try again.

Wow cool game, i didnt understand the jumping mechanics but cool game

Developer

Thanks! There is a guide near the bottom but I do plan on adding some voice lines or something to help with the mechanics.

Really fun little game ! Your take on the theme was pretty unique and the way it translated into an open-ended level design was a really nice execution, congratulations !
And yes, the controls take a little time to understand but that is definitely part of the fun :)

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!  I'm planning on adding some voice lines just to make learning the controls a little more fluid.

way too hard for me but I see the concept and it's very good

Developer

Thanks!  There is a walkthrough you can use to see how it's done and then try your own way since you can go past levels many different ways.

Yay! I made it to the end! :D It was actually a lot more fun than I expected it to be. Once I figured out the mechanic I had lots of fun! Good job! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks!  The figuring out mechanics was my vision, I'm happy to see you completed it!

Cool movement. Really confusing at first but then I just played like it's Icy Tower and it felt much much better.

Good visuals and game audio design, well done!

Developer(+1)

My plan was too add in some narration that would play when on the same level for more than like 5 seconds that gives you a small tip or even explains it after some time but I ran out of time to do this.  I'm glad you found a way to enjoy the movement/climbing.  Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

I really had fun with this one abusing physics to climb is so cool :D (Also i love how the cube rotates maniacly) Sadly i coulndt finished it it was too hard for me :/ .Other than  that i see no one commenting about the music and that shocks me becouse  it is pretty well made. Overall i enjoyed my time great work :D

Note: I would be happy if you could check out my game as well :d

Developer

There is a walkthrough you can use just to get past whatever your at, my advice is the key to winning is spamming the double jump thing.  Thanks for the feedback, I'll be sure to check out your game as well!

It is a good game :D When I first played it I didn't really know what to do but the instructions at the bottom  really helped! I also think that I found a bug that let's you jump infinitly until you hit something.

Developer(+1)

A bug or feature?  Finding weird ways to propel yourself up is part of the game haha.  Although being able to jump forever might be a bug, I'll be taking a look at that.  Thanks for the feedback!

I keept mashing buttons and somehow I managed to climp up, very fun game, also very nice music congrats on making it by yourself!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I had no idea what I was doing but I was flying all over the screen haha. It was quite a fun game, nice job!

Developer

Thanks I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

It was interesting to play. Great idea and good mechanics! Good job!

Please check my game as well ;)

Developer

If you want people to rate your game go to the community and post a topic or rate people and give honest feedback.  It's fun when people rate your game but it's not fair or fun when someone finds out the comment/rate was fake.  At least play the game and give some type of feedback relating to the game.  Good luck.

I like the macanic and like the squary player. My player is also very squary ;-)

I got stuck, but I had fun. I enjoyed the music as well. Nice work :)

Well done, enjoyed your game, I got stuck in the staircase level, climbing up from there was tough. Awesome game over all, good luck for jam :)

Developer(+1)

You were so close, just got to fling yourself off the stairs.  Thanks for playing!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting, I got stuck at the wall jump, I could not figure out that mechanic. I'm sorry. gameplay was smooth though.

Developer

Yah I realized it was a little too hard too late.  I should have made it slightly easier to get used to.  Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I love how in the instructions it says 'buttons mashing benefits you' LOL. I made it to the bottom pretty quick but the signs on the wall were telling me to go up which was a whole new ball game. I totally mashed everything but I don't think I beat it. Nice effort though. 

Developer(+1)

Yah I made that part too tricky.  Button mashing space and w is the way indeed.  I will try to make it more fluid thanks!
