A great take on the theme! The art is super cute and stylish. The character is so adorable and I love the texturea on the environment.\n\nI enjoyed the gameplay but it was a tad too difficult for me. I fell down to the bottom so many times, haha! I would have appreciated if there were some checkpoints along the way, or big platforms you could aim for when falling down.\n\nThe level design was great and once you got a bit higher it was very exiting. Falling down was always inevitable for me though :laughing:. I think you did a great job with the game and the hard core platforming was exiting! I'm just not that good at it, I'm afraid.\n\nThe visual design of everything was splendid, and your color choices are great.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1216473,"author_name":"ginkgo-biloba","author_uid":"ginkgo-biloba","epoch":1777227511,"text":"The little one is absolutely adorable.The gameplay is very easy to pick up; I reckon it would be great fun as a party game.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1216476,"author_name":"JonasOlsson","author_uid":"jonasolsson","epoch":1777227696,"text":"Cool game!

Reminded me of games like Getting over it with Bennett Foddy, Jump King, Chained Together, etc. The movement, jumping and dashing all felt tight. Very cute character design too.\n\nThis could potentially become a full time release, but the market is so saturated that I think it should rely on the art style to differentiate it from competitors.

For a jumping game, the controls are incredibly user-friendly! Movement and jumping are just right\u2014not too responsive, not too clunky. I really enjoy the feel of controlling the character to jump (it even has a bouncy, bouncy feel! And you can even wave your little hands!)! I just don't know if there are save points later on; sometimes accidentally falling and having to start over is a bit frustrating (it prevents me from continuing). I really like the concept! I also love the opening animation; the chromatic aberration effect makes it feel like watching an educational documentary. Although there's no tutorial, I can understand what role I'm playing and that the task is climbing!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1217073,"author_name":"VenomousMouse","author_uid":"venomousmouse","epoch":1777274060,"text":"Very nice idea and cool graphic!
