I couldn't play it, neither full screen or iframe. The character was keeping falling to the right, no matter what key I was pressing.

I have Windows 10 and tested with Firefox.

Any suggestion about it?

I had the same trouble myself going to full-screen. I activated the full-screen button from itch.io to provide full-screen mode. Sometimes, the game loses focus after it loads. All you need to do is left-click inside the game window.

I tried to do so, both in full-screen and both in iframe. It didn't work...

A challenging journey with Ups and Downs. The unique challenges both intrigued and frustrated me. But somehow I did reach level 15! The constant teleportation back to level one, regardless of climbing up the levels did feel more punishing than rewarding. This design choice created a sense of accomplishment but was overshadowed by the setback, leaving me torn between determination and frustration. I like that you can get a blessing very early and I do think this did help. On level 5 I collected something, but I don't know what. The one blessing I did manage to receive added an intriguing element, but my inability to use the bible beam did confuse me. In essence the game offered a challenging experience with its unique dynamics but the constant reset to level one made it more of a test of patience. With some refinements I believe the game would transform into a more satisfying adventure.

Blessings are required to both stay at the level you are on if you fall off and to fire the Bible's beam at a demon currently on screen. I gave the hint about the Bible's beam in the updated description.

I am sorry I can't rate your game. I don't have a game pad and don't know how to stop the screen from moving when i press up as there is no option to play on a full screen, I have also tried w,a,s,d. I looks like it would be an interesting game though

You can use the left, right, and up arrow keys to move the character. The only thing the up arrow key does is make your character jump. I cannot change anything until the judging period is over. It works for me in Chrome. The game page scrolls in Microsoft Edge until I press F7 to turn off caret browsing before I run the game. It now works in Microsoft Edge. Sometimes, the issue is a browser issue. Let me know if you still have trouble.

Updated: I have added a full-screen button as an option from itch.io. You can try that too.

Interesting premise, just feels a bit unpolished/clunky in its current form.

so conceptual.

has a decent concept but feels like it could use more work on design part: games are feedbacks! continue it!

The gameplay loop has some depth to it, but could use visual or audio feedback to better sell the mechanics and feel less unfair and clunky.

10/10 for having escalator tho
