I beat it in 44:44! Wow that game was amazing but also really stressful when you're really high up, you can't for the life of you touch a grip, your stamina is low and then you make it worse by accidently letting go with another hand... and that's why this game is so good. I was tempted to give up like halfway through the map but I chose to keep going. I love the music that played as I was near the top, it really motivated me to keep going.
I guess my only complaints are that the ending wasn't as epic as the music was suggesting, and then also I'd like the hands to let go as soon as I tell them to instead of sometimes having a multiple second delay. Either way, I loved this and it's one of my favourites from this jam!

Congratulations on beating it!
During playtesting I also found myself in the same stressful scenario.
I apologize that the ending was a bit anti-climactic! I really ought to have implanted some type of leaderboard or exciting reward for reaching the top.
Take pride in knowing you're one of the few to have succeeded. Many simply gave up.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the detailed feedback!
I sculpted the characters in blender using "meta balls" it's a really fun modeling technique where you blend shapes together. The material I used was also created in Blender and the texture was baked onto the model. The material consists of a noise texture and a color ramp. The noise texture adds that swirly, slightly inconsistent color variation.
Happy to hear you enjoyed it!
Loved the audio, especially the cheering and struggling sounds.

You're the food!Cool game play in the vein of Foddy-likes, but the controls could be a bit more responsive.
Also, as a fan of bouldering I wish there was a level about climbing a taco bell restroom stall

Slime-tosisReally fun game! I enjoyed the artstyle and voice acting lol. I personally found it really frustrating to control... Could just be a skill issue but the clicking and dragging felt unresponsive at times and it was a super long climb. I got about 10 minutes in 600 feet and I just couldn't take it anymore lol. Not sure though, that could be a skill issue lol.
Good game! I loved the little (and big) guys! :)
