The game looked and sounded real nice, but the controls were very unresponsive and I kept dying on my first jump... I replayed about ten times and never got any farther than the first time I had to jump. I don't know if the ropes were actual ropes, but nothing I did made them work for me. I thought maybe up and down arrows, but that just shifted my whole screen (ie like hitting down on a website with scrollbars would do). There was nothing I could do, because I couldn't do anything at all. I really wanted to, though, because the game looked and sounded amazing.
Also, for a runner-style game, it seems like you move very slowly.
