Love the art style, rope mechanic is fun but a bit tricky get the hang of. Would maybe a bit easier if you didn't have to hold space to climb. :D
A very interesting game, but the part about the rope is slightly difficult to handle, but overall an interesting and fun game!
Thank you!
Nice, the fact that you have to hold the space key down throws me off a lot.
I love the pixel art, and the controls. Tho the rope seems kinda off to me, a bit hard to control
thank you, and yeah we ran out of time so we worked with what we had.
Lovely game you got here. I found the controls hard to get used to though. All the more rewarding when I finally did get the jumps though :D
Thanks for playing, glad you had fun :)
I finished it now; it's got a bunch of nice ideas in it, and the level design is good, but the controls are really holding it back. Would've been nice if climbing was automatic (as long as you're holding the up key) rather than relying on the space button, and if falling was slower.
Thanks for playing, and yeah the controls really do need some work, if we decided to make a better version in the future I'll definitely implement that climbing idea.
Really cute game and great visuals. Physics wise it's seems kind of wonky, but still fun!
Thank you, I'm happy that you liked it.
