I can't function with the controls, it keeps mixing me up waay too much. I think if the climb buttons were toggle I could maybe do something more? or if the keys were in normal spots I could probably also do something.

What little of the physics I felt of your game felt quite nice  though!

It’s quite difficult on keyboard, but I enjoyed it!

I like the concept of your game, but controls are really bad. Good job!

Great game, I love the concept!
The keyboard controls are... let's call them unconventional.. -.-
The controller controls are really fun though! :)

A little slow for me to start and pick up, but I really like the feel of the game and very much and really dug it after I figured out how to swing!  The gravity and feel of the movement feels heavy in a great way.  Nice work!

I couldn't wrap my head around the swinging mechanic, the controls are pretty tricky, but it looks great!

The game is quite innovative and fun, but hard for new players to get into (unless the game was intentioned for 2 players). I recommend adding a switch button or so (that'd break the game rules a bit but I'm sure there is a way). But once I get used to it, it became a very fun climbing game and the art was very pleasant to look at. Good job!

Thank you! The game is intended to play on a gamepad solo or duo, the idea of being able to switch is really good for the keyboard because it is too hard to control two players at the same time with the current control scheme.

Good concept. Pretty hard to play on keyboard though. I found a bug where if you didn't press the climb button for the first time and press the movement button you can just move freely.

It's not a bug, i made it that way so when you respawn you dont fall. I'll try to change that in a post jam version ^^'

I liked the art and the physics of the game. However, when playing with keyboard it was a little bit hard for me as I don't use the English US layout. I might've been easier to select more common keys for the gameplay. Cool game!

Thank you! I tried my best for the keyboard controls, but even if we forget the layout localisation problem the controls are still bad. I think the best way to fix this is to redesign entirely the controls.
