it looks good, it's interesting to play, but collapses happen too often

Very nice graphics however your "authors" and "instruction" buttons don't actually do anything so I had to figure everything out on my own. Also it is way to precise when it comes to placing a hand on a rock.

The instructions button didn't work so it took me a minute to figure out what to do but when I did it was pretty fun! Nice work! :))

Instruction button wasn't working for me no matter how many times I kept clicking on it, so I didn't know how to control the game until a few attempts later. Overall I like the ragdoll physics, it's a rage game like Getting Over It which was pretty neat. Agree that collapses happen a bit too frequently especially earlier on, maybe they could happen more frequently the higher up you go. Art is insane, good job there!

I really like the game, pretty challenging. The rumbling rock sound is a bit too much, though it helps to know one is coming up. They are hard to avoid since they spawn more or less on top of you (unless I was very unlucky). I only got up to 20, pretty sure that's lame lol But it was fun to play

Great QWOP-like game! Fun and challenging.

The randomization of map can sometimes make the falling stones fatal.

Very well made! I found it fun and a little frustrating. Just when I thought I was making good progress a collapse would knock me off. My only issue was in the screen transition up it made it difficult to place my next hand in the amount of time that was given. Nice game though!

I managed to climb to around half the distance

- Good visual design
- I like the skeleton animation used here
- multiple ways of handling the climbing problem
- Nice height / progress indicator
- Not sure if there's any music or did I have a bug? The SFX is there though
- You can spam the clicks to go insanely fast :joy:
- Are the climbable objects randomized or are they set in pieces? I had an issue where I couldn't find a way forward 2 or 3 times
- As others pointed out, the rocks collapsing is a bit too often to my liking.

A good job nontheless! Please list what each folk did in the description. It's always rewarding :)

This is really satisfying. Kinda reminds me that quop like climbing game but this is much easier and nicer to play. It's very polished for such a short amount of time so nice work! At first I was clicking the hands and dragging but I found it was easier to click on a target hold directly - I dunno if that's cheating haha

Really fun to play, however it demands too much skills for me, I'm stuck right before the end because of the timer.

Your music loop has a "click" in the menu, it's the only thing that really bothers me.

You did a great job overall !

The art style is excellent. I love the details, like the hight progress HUD. I found it a bit too hard, but I was using a trackpad, I imagine it's easier with a mouse. Overall I like it. Great job!

Great execution overall on this. I enjoyed it very much. My only criticism would be that I had to wait for the climber to fall and hit the bottom before I could restart. I did figure out later that I could restart from the pause menu during a fall, but I think it should be easier to do. Having a button to allow restart as soon as the climber falls would make for a better experience. Other than that, the sounds, graphics, mood, gameplay, and polish are great. Nice job!

Amazing game!! I really don't like tutorials with walls of text but the mechanics were easy to understand and the gameplay is amazing! The game would be so much better with music but the gameplay is more than good enough. I can actually see this making it into speedrun.com!

I really like the climbing mechanic a lot in this. I think a game like this could benefit much more from pre-made levels though. The random placements were sometimes borderline impossible to traverse. The falling rocks could also have a bit more of a warning window. They always took me out in the end.

It is quite nice to climb the mountain. For me, personally I think it is better to use left click to handle both hands and if feet, better.

Insane art, kudos to artist. But gameplay is weird. Couldn't get how to dash properly and always fall. And one time camera jumped ahead in a middle of try, confused me and I fell off because of it.
Also in instructions on some pages display there are only 4, at others that there are 8 pages.

It was a little bit stressful at times with the shortnotice rocks and snow patches.
Nice soundeffect on falling :id:
Good Job

Really fun and innovative idea to have that climbing mechanic with the mouse buttons! I had a lot of fun trying to get higher, but the falling rocks just don't give enough notice to get out of the way in time. Also the falling scream is hilarious haha

02. May 2023 · 00:40 UTC
Super challenging but fun game! I only barely managed to get past the first level, and after that I just could not get past the windstorm because no matter what a boulder would always fall on top of me. In general I think the warning time for the falling boulders/avalanche was too quick, I found myself unable to move out of the way in time in most cases. Other than that, this is a really great game. The climbing mechanics themself feel really good (though sometimes the screen scrolling made it easy to miss a grab), and with a few balance tweaks this could be a full product. Nicely done!

I really enjoyed the game, it was quite challenging - sometimes even unfairly so - but after dying a bunch of times, I got the hang of it. The art is nice and the movements are smooth, although sometimes it was tricky to get the character to grab onto the rocks. Every time I died and heard the scream, it made me laugh.

Woah, this is an amazing game! There is so much stuff going on, that is quite huge for a game jam entry! I love the mechanics, yet it is really challenging! I spend my first 10 tries to dodge the first rock. Great job!

02. May 2023 · 08:56 UTC
I found this quite difficult, even once I got the hang of the dash ability. I think the handholds should be a tiny bit closer together, at least at the lower levels. The highest I was able to get was height 12. The mechanics do feel satisfying to improve at, though. If the balancing was a bit better I definitely would have gotten hooked. I might still come back to it later and try to do better.

I really enjoyed this, really nice graphics, the physics on the body are a nice touch too! I think it would be nice if the camera didn't move up while I was trying to move my hand, as it made me miss click a few times meaning I missed the grab and died.

Great job though, interesting idea, the stamina really puts pressure on you.

I've been following you folks throughout the jam as I thought your artwork was really beautiful.
I'm definitely not skilled enough for this game as I can't get the hang of it, definitely a 'me' problem though, as my partner had grasped it just fine! I think I need to just get good.
Really interesting game, gives me QWOP kinda vibes with the coordination.

02. May 2023 · 13:58 UTC
Very interesting game, though I feel like the primary challenge is moving while the camera is also moving, which does not feel very fun. I also think a bit longer warning on the stones falling would be nice. The base mechanics are very fun to play with, and the whole movement feels quite nice, so I would like to see that expanded and maybe let the challenge come from hand-crafted levels where you have to think about your positioning instead.

Миленько то, что вы нарисовали членов команды)
Так, по игре мне понравился визуал, выглядит хорошо. Понятный тутор и впринципе довольно интересно и играбельно.
Но, мне кажется, что нкжно немного больше времени на подумать, когда показывает знак, что сейчас полетит камень , я всё никак не успевала( до конца пройти так и не смогла, но, вообще, всё довольно неплохо)

02. May 2023 · 14:44 UTC
This game has fantastic art! I had one issue with the gameplay, when the character is at the bottom of the screen, reaching upwards will sometimes move the camera, making me miss the connection on the next piece, and fall. That aside, this is a really solid entry!
Ausstein
02. May 2023 · 14:53 UTC
Very Cool Idea!

I really liked the Art and Audio. And overall the Game felt really polished.

I have two minor points to critizse:

-the RNG makes it so that the difficulty varies a lot, I feel like with some more constraints on what to generate next to what this could be improved a lot.

-The grabbing feels a bit inconsitent at times. I think it is because if a grab is sucessfull is defined by where the hand is, and the hand has some delay on the movement. So sometimes it feels like i should have grabbed a ledge while in reality the hand was simply not on top. Maybe a solution could be when the mouse is released try to grab. if it fails, let the hand move to the last mouse position for another like .2s or so and try grab again.

But other than that Really great entry. I would say best I have played so far, but that does not mean much since it is the first I am playing this LD lol :D I might come back later to confirm if it is still the best ;D

moonsheep
02. May 2023 · 15:42 UTC
This is great! My only suggestion would be adding a quick respawn button, because falls do happen pretty often (specially when youre still getting the hang of things) and the current behavior feels a bit too long.
blobo
02. May 2023 · 15:45 UTC
This was a lot of fun! There were definitely situations that felt unfair, (rocks appearing after the blizzard begins, two thirds of the screen suddenly becoming hazardous...) but I reached the summit!

The artwork was great (I especially enjoyed the aurora in level 2), the scream was hilarious... all around, marvelous work!

I recorded myself playing to deliver as much feedback as possible!

02. May 2023 · 16:09 UTC
Hey, this is a solid game. The art is good, it's engaging. However, when the screen scrolls, it makes it very difficult to grab what you want, and I basically can't get past two or three screen scrolls without messing up. My suggestion would be to scroll the screen *only* when the mouse button is not being pressed, perhaps just scrolling right after the next handhold is grabbed would be best.

it was quite difficult to play at the beginning, but once i understood the way things should be done, it was pretty fun to play! i love the main mechanic, it just feels so nice to climb that mountain with the way the character swings here and there. although it was kind of annoying when camera was sliding up at the same time while i was trying to grab onto a stone

02. May 2023 · 19:28 UTC
Damn, this looks gorgeous!

Visually impressive, I felt the gauge was a bit weird to understand information, but that's pretty much it. Everything else looked very clear and cohese.

The sound effects were very good, but I felt the background was a bit too quiet. It adds to the tension but maybe some snowy tense song playing in the back would feel more fitting?

The gameplay is amazing once you get the hang of it. Really nice to go climbing rocks quickly and grabbing ropes in quick alternation. It is hard and challenging but I didn't feel like it was unfair. It always was a problem of not reacting quick enough to avoid a hazard. I just felt the dying event took too long, took a bit of the motivation to try again.

Managed to get to 72, the cold winds always get me somehow.

Very nice game, well done people!

This game is hard but an experience I enjoy!
The art and sounds fit very well and the way of using this theme to build a qwop like climbing game is a very nice twist.

I have one small problem with the way the map scrolls though - sometimes when you aim for something to grab onto the map scrolls and you aim will get thrown off - this was by far the reason for most of my deaths. But this is a small nitpick in an overall very nice experience - and I am bad at it anyways :smile:

Lovely visual and art style. The music is as good as the art with a chill mood to it.
The game is quite fun but difficult at first. Took me some tries before getting used to it.
It is really fun when you managed to get a bit "fast". The boulder and avalanche can be unforgiving though. Maybe having one life before losing would have make it a bit less frustrating when you get unlucky :laughing:


Overall the game is just awesome! Well done :thumbsup:

Really nice work! I got to the second stage, but couldn't manage to get much further once the wind started messing with me. I think the main suggestion I would have would be to make it scroll up in-between player movements; by far the thing that killed me the most was the camera moving after I'd started a move.

Good job!

I really like the gameplay, it's such fun trying to master. The art is nice!

I think there is a bug though. If you pause the game and then click restart, a red stamina bar shows in the hands and you cannot start playing (at least I could not figure out how to start playing again after the red stamina bar appeared). After falling down, when the restart screen is shown, I can start to play again.

I miss a button to quick restart, as well.

Wow ! Really cool entry! The controls are sweet, and even if the game is difficult, and seems sometimes unfair (damn you avalanche!) it makes you want to play again
Well done !

I love games that have these slightly unconventional climbing controls and give the player room to feel them out and master them. Really well done, even if some of the obstacles can feel borderline unfair sometimes I still wanted to keep playing.

Сложно, но крайне занимательно. Арт очень приятный, музыка тоже. Очень понравилось то, что уровни каждый раз рандомизируются, хотя с этим, конечно, появляются моменты, когда уступы и верёвки спавнятся сильно далеко друг от друга. Я дошла до 80 баллов, прежде чем решила отступить. Было весело) Будь у меня весь день свободен, я залипла бы за игрой на значительно большее время.

This game requires real strategy to get consistent scores, which is awesome! The trick is to linger in positions with a good fallback as well as side grab options (I tend to straddle quite a bit). I wasn't able to figure out the dash grab mechanic, maybe there is a delay before I can grab once dashing.

-Only gripe is, in the blizzard level if something fell on top it was instant death with low recovery chance. I think reducing stamina drain for single grab would allow more leeway for recovery, and feel less rng.

All-in-all, really well thought out game!

Another Suggestion: It would be soo cool to have a Speedrun timer on this for replayability.
Since you track the time already this would be as simple as displaying the time at the end of level 1 + at the end of level two. Should be super quick to do.

Can you maybe release a post jam version that displays the time if you win? I would love to hunt this :)

For a moment I started getting WLOP flashbacks here, but thankfully, this game was much more forgiving. It benefits from the ragdoll physics so much, and the apparent ease and fluidity of movement is genuinely addicting. Tbh I think I wasn't that lucky with RNG a couple of times, but it didn't spoil the fun one bit :>

Excellent art! I love this take on the theme! The game itself is pretty tough. I think it would be nice to start the player on an easier section so they can be introduced to what they can/ can't reach. I had a tough time getting the hang of it but it was fun to keep trying.

03. May 2023 · 22:08 UTC
Very interesting climbing mechanic, felt very good to use. I did have trouble climbing sometimes due to the camera moving upwards and making the rocks dodge my clicks XD.

I also feel that the climbing is so fun that it makes the space bar forgetable, many times I could've jumped to dodge something but I forgot. That said, it was a really fun game, definitely interested to see a leaderboard on who gets the highest (unless there is an ending I couldn't see for being too bad of a player haha)

Lol I loved the falling audio combined with the rag doll effect. Very fun game made it to the top :tada:. I did cheat a bit, if you spam the same mouse button you can reach a lot further. Also liked how you had to match holds to continue climbing higher, like in real life. Only wish would be to see my time at the end. Good job!

I had a great time playing this. The hazards and obstacles added an exciting level of difficulty that kept me engaged throughout. It took me many tries to make it to the top, but I eventually got there! I found the camera scrolling to be a bit problematic and sometimes made it hard to keep a grip. I wonder if you could have implemented a cursor that scrolled with the camera...?

I particularly enjoyed the second level, despite the fact that the blizzard was tough to navigate through, the moment where a rock drops as soon as the blizzard was over felt like the game was being mean to me! However, I was able to learn from my mistakes and eventually got better at dealing with it.

As for the graphics and ambiance, they were great and really added to the immersive experience. The ambiance (visual and audio) of the second level was impressive, it made me feel like I was really there. What inspired the game's visual and audio ambiance?

Overall, I had a fantastic time playing this game, it was a fun and challenging experience that kept me engaged from start to finish. I would love to see more games like this in the future!

Incredible game! Need more levels :smile:!! Only small issue is the part where the camera starts scrolling between screens, it goes quite fast and its hard to aim with the mouse and do anything during it. I'd prefer if the camera would just always follow the player scrolling slowly.

Amazing game, I was really excited when I finally got to the top and got the flag. The gameplay and concept is unique and interesting, it reminded me of that game Get Over It but you guys put a great spin on it and made it really well. There were so many moments especially with rocks and blizzards messing with me that got my heart pumping because I was so close to getting the flag and didn't want to lose all my progress. The art was really nice and I loved how the player moved whenever I tried to go for weird grips so both my hands aren't on the same rock. The audio was also nice, game doesn't need music so that it sells the mood of being alone at the top of a mountain with a flag. The sounds for the rocks got me to move fast and the blizzards got me scared because I really didn't want to make a mistake and let go for one second and die. My only criticism of the game is that it doesn't fit the theme as well as other games, you're not really delivering the flag from one place to another, unless you're delivering yourself. But games in the jam don't have to fit the theme and overall for me this game is a 5/5.

I didn't quite feel the theme. But i loved the art style and the mood. It was a bit hard to tell what parts were "grabbable" and what parts just looked grabable but was just part of the background texture. But one i figured that out it was quite enjoyable.

Really really nice, I loved that! I found it *wayyyyy* funnier than I should have, but it was fantastic (:laughing:)! Just the mixture of my little ragdoll guy flinging himself across the screen with the perfectly timed/acted falling scream, I just couldn't keep myself from laughing (xD)! It was more on the difficult side of things than I was expecting, but that's just a product of climbing, and it made getting to the top feel even more rewarding -- I'm glad there was a checkpoint though, I will say! It looked nice, sounded nice, and overall was just a really good play, nice job! Keep it up, all of you! :clap:

(never really understood the jump, so that probably added to the difficulty)

Congratulations, great game you got! It's a lot of fun but at the same time frustrating to fall down the slope jaja! It cost me a lot to play it, really at the beginning it would feel better if the difficulty was more progressive. Since every time I tried to learn the mechanics I would fall on a stone or an avalanche. The 2d art work and the effects and environment are very well done. Good job! xD
LDJam user 237623

I got a height of 36. It would've been nice to have feedback on the jump cooldown. Also, the camera made it difficult to catch yourself after getting knocked off by a falling rock. It seemed like most of the time when that happened, I was near the bottom of the screen. If you could zoom out and maybe have the camera track the player, I think the gameplay would feel better.

Overall the game ran smoothly and looked good. Good job

alanxoc3
05. May 2023 · 04:55 UTC
Very unique game mechanic! And the game is very polished too!

It was a little frustrating when I fell, because I had to redo a lot of progress. A respawn mechanic or safety rope/harness might make falling a lot less frustrating.

But other than that I did really enjoy it!

05. May 2023 · 06:07 UTC
The game felt like a an actual, complete game. That is awesome for a gamejam game! I think it just needs a little more balancing, but that's it. (For example the blizzard maybe takes a little too long) And I feel like the hardest part was to climb while the screen moved up.

The game is quite fun but difficult at first. Took me some tries before getting used to it.
It is really fun when you managed to get a bit “fast”. The boulder and avalanche can be unforgiving though. Maybe having one life before losing would have make it a bit less frustrating when you get unlucky laughing

Overall the game is just awesome! Well done thumbsup

Мне понравилась ваша скалолазная игра) Таких есть достаточно, но мне нравится в вашей то, что управление более удобное в плане клика по нужному месту, мы получаем хороший контроль над персонажем.

Однако во время перемещения камеры лазание немного осложняется. Может, сделать так, чтобы камера двигалась всегда, тогда у камеры были бы более медленные и плавные движения, и они бы так не мешали перемещению. Потому что более резкие и дальние перемещения камеры на экран выше слишком сбивают, и игроку приходится ждать, пока оно не завершится. А так - мог бы быть не такой прерывистый геймплей из-за камеры. Но это всё нужно, конечно, проверять.

Обидно, что уровни так внезапно оканчиваются. На середине и в конце уровня можно было бы прилепить сверху какой-нибудь спрайт с укрытием или вершиной горы, чтобы предварительно обозначать этот момент, а не резко обрывать геймплей.
Я бы очень хотел бесконечный режим! Мне этого очень не хватает, этой игре он бы очень подошёл.
Мне всё очень понравилось, спасибо за игру!

[EN]
I liked your climbing game) There are enough of them, but what I like about yours is that the controls are more convenient in terms of clicking on the right place, we get good control over the character.

However, while moving the camera, climbing becomes a bit more difficult. Maybe make the camera move all the time, then the camera would have slower and smoother movements, and they would not interfere with movement so much. Because the faster and farther camera moves up the screen are too confusing, and the player has to wait until it completes. And so - there could be less intermittent gameplay due to the camera. But this all needs to be checked, of course.

It's sad the levels end so abruptly. In the middle and at the end of the level, it would be possible to stick some kind of sprite with a shelter or a mountain top on top to pre-mark this moment, and not abruptly cut off the gameplay.
I would really like an endless mode! I really miss this, he would be very suitable for this game.
I really liked it, thanks for the game!
Brandon Campbell
07. May 2023 · 18:19 UTC
It's fun and addicting. It has that quality that makes you want to keep trying. Like others have said - the rock falls are frustrating. I ultimately gave up because it's clear the rock falls aren't something you can learn to avoid with enough skill. Sometimes there are just no holds available to avoid the rocks fast enough. There needs to be a bit more warning and/or more stamina on the hands to enable time to move.

The game is incredibly intuitive yet strategic when it comes to deciding where to move each hand.
The tension of real climbing is well-incorporated into the game system, which is fantastic.
The graphics accurately depict the vulnerability of the climber, and the immersive sound contributes to the overall experience.
Together, all these elements create a synergistic effect, making the game highly enjoyable!
