Wonderfully original, nostalgic vibe. 

Building a unique platforming puzzle loop around explicit ladder mechanics and platform-hanging physics is a clever way to recontextualize standard movement grids. 

The short, repeating music track loop manages to fit the quirky atmosphere perfectly without overstaying its welcome. 

It's a completely distinct, charmingly traumatizing climbing challenge that feels completely handcrafted from top to bottom.

Interesting game, I liked it!

Really like the art in this one, the ladder game play is simple. nice clean game.

This is a really good game but my only problem is that the hit boxes make the game a bit difficult otherwise it’s a good game. Pls play and rate my game too if you have time 

Submitted

Great game I really enjoyed it 😊

Submitted

Very nice and original mechanic, I enjoy when platformers do something "different". My problem was with hitboxes, I couldn't get past after the moving platform, the next enemy ALWAYS touches me and kills me.

The hand-drawn art style is absolutely charming and gives LADDER MAN a completely unique personality that stands out from everything else — the blurred background detail especially adds so much character and depth. Using a ladder instead of jumping as the core movement mechanic is such a clever and original idea that nobody else in this jam seems to have done! The moment you discover you can hang from platforms it completely opens up and gets even more fun. The music loop is short but somehow fits perfectly. Adding a ladder attack to deal with enemies would be a fun and natural extension of the mechanic. Really enjoyable and creative entry! Feel free to check out my sky platformer too 😊

Good game, had fun, it's challenging too. Awesome work!

Cool concept for a platformer!
At first I wasn't sure why I couldn't jump, then I realized 😅

Submitted

Love the mechanics, really simple but really effective
the art is great too!

First of all i wanted to say that this game was really laggy to me, some optimization is really really needed :[

I really love the art style you gave this game, it's one that really stands out to me and it's just really cool to look at :D

I like the ladder mechanic, it's a really unique idea but i think it could maybe use a little more work, but for what it is i would say it is very good and i enjoyed using it!!

Overall it's a nice game with a original art style and mechanic, could definitely use some polishing (and optimization please..) :]

Submitted

Very nice mechanics for replacing jumping and ducking. It gives the game a nice challenge a bit more fun. Very nice artwork too. Well done!

Submitted

Nice game, really like the ladder mechanic used here, haven't seen another submission do anything similar to it!

Submitted

Nice game with graphics that really stand out from the other entries, and good gameplay too. Great job!

Submitted

Man, I liked it! It has a really interesting mechanic that's different from the other games. Great job! :)

Submitted

Cool game! I love the art style, and the ladder mechanic added some strategy to the gameplay. good job!

Submitted

I am sorry my man i can't give you a proper rating since the game was lagging a lot for me. 

Submitted

Me encanto tu estilo de arte y la mecanica, pero creo que seria demasiado genial que le agregaras un ataque con la escalera, para que tambien pueda matar a los enemigos.
