(I only got like 5 fps due to bad laptop for 3d graphics so I didn’t get very far, so Enjoyment and Gameplay were given the benefit of the doubt ratings)

The ambience was well done.

Rain was a good sound effect.

Submitted

Really cool and atmospheric style! 

Submitted

The climbing works surprisingly well and is really fun! Even if the camera can be a bit jerky at times.

The atmosphere is simply phenomenal, really well done. :)

Submitted

I liked the climbing mechanic and ambience of the environment.

Submitted

Interesting mechanic, this would slap hard on the VR platform :D

Submitted

I enjoyed the ambience of the game. The art style almost gives me pixelated horror vibes but it was also calming too. I do think the game was innovative, being able to grab and throw rocks isn't something you normally see. Overall I enjoyed it. Good job.

Submitted

very unique playstyle, the feeling reminds me of getting over it in a sense whenever I fall to the ground again lol. overall, it has potential!

Submitted

I enjoyed climbing. The controls are nice. But the camera jerking sometimes bothered me.

There's an issue with camera snapping. Otherwise it looks like people would enjoy it.

Submitted

Nice climbing mechanics with mouse controls! Never played a climbing game before but this was a great experienece!

Quick Suggestions:

  • When grabing on things especially after a jump maybe the player movement is more stable and not so unpedictable.

Congrats!

I think climbing rage games are really fun, but I also didn't manage to beat it yet. It was slightly yanky at times but it was still enjoyable.

At first, I was really confused over the game and didn't know how to climb over ledges. It took me quite a while to realize that having two hands on the ledge would allow me to jump much higher, since the tutorial only covered jumping with one hand on a ledge.

But once I understood that, it became really addicting and super fun! Many games I've played with climbing mechanics are so boring and slow, but the climbing here was actually engaging! And it's cool how there is a strategy component involved regarding how one can climb and even the route one can take. This game has a lot of depth! :) I'll be coming back to this one later to try again, cuz I couldn't make it to the top yet haha.

If you get the chance, please feel free to check out our game as well! We'd greatly appreciate any honest feedback.

Glad you enjoyed, I certainly will!

Submitted

Love the visuals a lot! What this style is called?

Developer(+1)

I think it was retro/PS1, but I might be wrong :P

Submitted

Like my game if it wasn't made to be a rage game and harder.

Submitted

Super atmospheric with some intuitive (if pretty jank at times) climbing.

Did end up getting stuck on a balcony after falling about halfway through, and had to stop for time, but I'm definitely coming back to this one later.

Super underated so far, hope more people find this one! Nice work.

Submitted

It was a very interesting and fun game, although a little hard to figure out in the beginning. I like the dreary weather in there too. My younger sibling loved it.

Submitted

Bro I could not understand what should I do :(. I learned how to climb and how to throw, but what comes next?
I really enjoy these types of games so I wish you reply fast, so that I can try it again after I understand it better.

Look for red cubes, similar to the ones in the bunker, around the buildings. First ones should be to the left of the bunker (aka the tutorial room). 

Your objective is to climb to the top of the tallest building.

Tell me if you are still stuck.

Submitted

I understand it now, I really liked the concept and the sound effect, but I think you should make it easier, every thing else is good :)

Submitted

I think it would be better if the stone could be picked up again after being thrown instead of disappearing. Overall, I really enjoyed your game.

i suck at these games, had a hard time getting up but still liked the game, the crow pic at the page goes HARD :D 9/10

Submitted

It might be just me suck at this game, but I feel like the character wobble too much when grabbing onto something. And jumps usually don't go where I think I would go. But other than the control issue I think this game is pretty neat. I can see clear path and progression, while having the option to take alternative routes. The vibe is also neat. Good work.
