Fun! I got a score of 144. I think my biggest issue is that some of the screens keep coming up in the rotation so it's a little repetitive. Also not a fan of cannons from previous screens able to still shoot me. I like how things move slightly faster as time progresses, that's a good touch. Nice job!
Thank you a lot for this complete review and playing Neverest ^^
I'm so glad you enjoyed our game :3 To be honest, the cannons shooting outside the screen is a bug that we could not fix on time (Silly developpers :P) and I agree in the fact that it might feel frustrating. For the repetitive screens, we choosed that so the game can last as long as the player is alive and there's not that many different screens, it takes much time to build a fun and original screen. However, I hope all that did'nt really lowered your enjoyment of the game. :D
By the way, did you noticed that every jam you play our game? So, each year we are waiting for you!!!! :)
Oh I didn't even realize! I just love playing as many jam games as I can, I'm at like 120 this voting period lol
Really fun!
Thank you for your review and for playing Neverest! ^^
Neverest's team is very glad you enjoyed our game! :3
OOOh wait this is so cool !!!! Tutorial so good it already got me hyped and then the actual game? It was even better
It was so enjoyable and I kinda liked the way every run was a little different from the previous!
Thank you for your review and for playing Neverest! ^^
Neverest's team is very glad you enjoyed our game! We worked a lot into sound design, artwork and gamefeel to give you the best experience possible. :3
But if there's one game that was incredible, it was yours! It was my absolute favorite from this jam. :D
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH! And by the way the cover art is just *chefs-kiss*! Such an awesome concept. Great and simple art style. Fun gameplay! Perfectly difficult!

By the way, your game is also one of my favorites from the jam, and I definitely would have added Pomelo if I had known him before. :)
I am blown away by how polished this game is. The browser version takes a long time to load though but that didn't stop me from playing the game and climbing Mount Neverest. Amazing work!

I don't know why the loadings take so much time since the game isn't really heavy. •-•
I really loved this take on theme its super creative and fun i loved the simplicity of the art and the polish this game has for a 4 day long jam, well done guys.

Really like the simplicity and the take of the theme, the whole game feels very complete. Of course, more content would be better, but that's the jam. Really nice job
Thank you for your review and for playing Neverest! ^^
Neverest's team is very glad you enjoyed our game! Unfortunately, we spent more time improving the game feel than making new content, it's a jam, it's required to choose what to do with your time. :)
Nice game! Every time, when there are more than one cannon, the game changes from relaxing puzzle game, to a middle of battlefield, where I was trying to at least survive (And I love it!).
Thank you for your review and for playing Neverest! ^^
Neverest's team is very glad you enjoyed our game! The cannons are actually more difficult than expected because the snowballs can go throw walls and levels so they might be some snowballs that can chase you for a very very long distance. XDDD
Good execution on tying moves to the count. I definitely felt like I had to get moving faster to try and make it through, even if that made it feel more like an RTS than a puzzle game, which is a neat combo.
What was you high score ? Hope you enjoyed playing. Thanks for playing Neverest and reviewing !
Fun climber game. I feel like I kept trying to go faster than I actually had to. It was interesting trying to control the pacing.
Hope you enjoyed playing ! The controls are a bit punishing when you just started a new game. Thanks for playing and reviewing !
Fun game! I was a little surprised at the pace of the main game after the tutorial, but that did seem to work better. Felt a lot more like trying to scramble up a mountain.
Glad to see that you had fun playing Neverest ! The main game and the tutorial are not on the same level 🤣. Huge thanks from all the team for reviewing and playing Neverest.
Like the concept, fun to play and dynamic. We also made countdown on movement :D
Respect for celeste reference. Was it intentional to allow cannons fire through walls?
The cannons were added in the last rush, so no our first intention was not that they can shoot through walls. We didn't have much time left and we were already tired. Yet again someone noticing Celeste for reference. Thanks for playing and reviewing !
Really cool ! I like the technique needed, as well as the art style !
Thanks for your feedback ! Hope you had a good time playing.
Really solid game I can see this blowing up in mobile also title visual is a killer
You can thank our artist Makeau for the title ! We got so many comments saying to release it on mobile and steam if the game jam ends well we will possibily think of this. Thanks for playing and reviewing !
The turn-based movement combined with real-time obstacles that get faster as the game progresses is really chaotic, but that's what makes it fun. Somehow, I started moving faster along with the pacing of the obstacles, like it was a rhythm game (and then I actually fell into a crack).
Anyway, the game is fun! I'd definitely come back after the full release.
Thank you for your review and for playing Neverest! ^^
Neverest's team is very glad you enjoyed our game! It might feel like a rythm game because originally it was one... •-• However, this idea was discarded but the player's movements were kept because they felt good. :3
We're working on the full release that we'll try to launch as soon as possible, I hope I'll see you there. :)
Loved this! Super satisfying gameplay and loved the sound design too which added to that! Great work!

Really fun game. Simple mechanics that added up to something better than the sum of their parts. I appreciated that as you got higher, everything sped up and got more hectic, forcing you to think on your feet and play less optimally. The only super minor complaint I had was that it felt unfair for offscreen cannons below you to keep shooting up at you, and for their bullets to effectively never despawn - more than once I had to wait for snowballs from multiple screens below to pass once I finally reached a screen with no cannons. I thought the art was clear and cute, sound design was good as well. Really polished work, you guys did a tremendous job!
424 is a very good score ! We took the time to polish it and we added the cannons in the last rush so they weren't perfect, like shooting through walls. The artists in the team did a good job, will definitely tell them you loved they work. A huge thanks from all the team for playing and reviewing!
That's actually super addictive and the gameplay is really fun!
Thank you a lot for your review and for playing Neverest!
Neverest's team is actually very glad you enjoyed our game. ^^
I really liked atmosphere and art style, and gameplay was a lot of fun. concept is fantastic. Great job, and I hope to see the full release soon!
Thank you a lot frot you review and for playing Neverest!!
I never would have imagined that CaptainGodot would ever play my game, we're so honored. :3
We're glad you enjoyed playing Neverest, we put a lot of efforts into the sound design and artwork to give the best experience possible ! We're also actually working on the full release. ^^
For what content is here, it's all extremely polished. Game feels good to control and responsive to actions, pixel art is very cute! I only wish this was an arcade game i could play at my local arcade!
I would recommend a bar on the left or right of the screen to tell players how far up the mountain they've made it. maybe milestones and different zones could be included?
The hard cut to death screen made me actually laugh out loud. Keep it up yall!
The mountain is infinite ! For each chunk you cross the time scale is faster by 0.03. We took a lot of time to polish the game so we are glad to see that noticed it. Maybe in futures updates we could add differents biomes. Thanks again for reviewing and playing !
