The evaluators' feedback:
"Minimalistic and quite annoying platformer. Easy to understand, but the climbing mechanic works badly. You can get stuck pretty easily, either by falling down (which doesn't end in losing) or by sticking to the ceiling near the wall, where you're unable to move."
- LukaszM (EVAL)
"Another fun take on platformers! No jump button, you instead gain height by climbing walls! I love it! There are a couple of issues though: falling off does not trigger a loss; softlocking is possible when climbing into a ceiling (which for some reason seemed to be intended? Level 6 used it as a sort of ‘gotcha’); running into a wall too hard can make it difficult to back out. Otherwise, solid."
- FancyGames (ex-EVAL)
"You can easily get softlocked in corners. You also start climbing walls even when you're not touching them, which is annoying in situations where you don't want to do that."
- Aeu (ex-EVAL)
"Very rough platformer. Almost everything doesn't work as it should: if you fall you don't die and the climbing mechanic (which is the most important thing of the game) doesn't work. Very poor gameplay and level design; same goes for the art. At least it has cool ideas for the mechanics."
