Thanks! We were having a headache trying to get the wall climbing to work the way we intended originally. I wasn't thrilled with the way our item slot rig ended up but had to make a few concessions towards the end of the night Friday. First time jam, LEARNED A LOT!
We had decided to have the hearts become permanent and placed other resource chests around the maze. And also used that when taking to much "emotional damage" from the corrupted hearts returned you to the starting cell. That way climbing hand holds were already in place.
We are taking the comments and will be tightening up the game play for this. It was a really fun exercise and can't wait to try another.
