Difficult at first but cool concept! The art and audio went well together and I'll definitely come back and try to get better at this game.

Difficult but I like the feel of the game. The art is cute! The leaderboard hit its rate limit though. Hope that doesn't hurt your reviews :(

First few times I was just struggling to get the controls down but by my 2nd or third attempt I had started to get the hang of it and then I really did start to feel the pressure.
It seemed that sometimes the spacebar didn't quite register for me though but it seemed to be caused by something as after I got better it seemed to be an issue fewer and fewer times.

Took me a while to find the tutorial so had no idea what I was doing at first, managed to get my cat up onto the rock on the far left but was clueless, all clicked once I started mashing keys and spacebar worked. Fun concept, nicely executed. Very difficult though!

Fun game concept, the art and music is awesome. Took me a bit to get the hang of, but these multi-point climbing games types are supposed to be crazy and flailing, I think that's what makes it a hilarious challenge.

Cool mechanics! It's a lot of fun to move the paws of the characters. I like that animals have different bone patterns.
It would be great if there was a timer-free mode. It's so exciting to put pyramids that it's interesting to just explore and make the biggest tower.

That was fun! It took a couple of tries to get the hang of it, but my tower flew up once I did. The tension of growing the tower and trying to get more and more pigeons whilst reclimbing every time was fun. Perhaps some checkpoint so you don't have to climb all the way up your tower every time could be nice? Either way, fun game. I really liked the silly googly eyed animals and the variants - felt great to get a snake and fly up rather than the 3-legged monkey. The music fit really well too. Great entry!

I'm not sure the leaderboard was working, though. I couldn't submit, sadly, or see the top scores.

Super fun! I really laughed while playing. Whether it was with the poses or the eyes. The graphics and music are really polished !

This game is so underrated and should have more players to try! It's a shame it was played only by 20 people!

It's so much fun. I love the idea and the gameplay is absolutely frustrating and FUNNY! I love it.

Extra star for those googly eyes in the main menu :)
