YIPPEEE fun sound grabbing the cheese at the end
As a fellow climbing game creator, based. Love the coherent style, but couldn't quite grasp the shrinking aspects of the game, the run I won was at max weight basically the whole time!
Love the audio cues on where the rocks are going to fall. It’s very satisfying to watch the vertices on the rat pop out one at a time as the little guy gets bigger.
Good visual style. Good job!
hard mode had me TRIPPIN
Nice graphic style! The game is pretty boring though. On normal mode, you can just move diagonally and never hit any obstacles. Hard mode is just:
The graphic style is okay, but unfortunately not much has been done with 3D, which would have been exactly possible in 2D. At the beginning you grow very quickly and then almost not at all. You could have started smaller. I was hoping that something would happen, but nothing does. What was the timer for? Is there an end? All in all, though, I had fun :3
I'm glad you had fun anyway, yeah probably shouldn't explained a bit better but if you let go of the building you can shrink mid air (so you can climb but fall a bit to climb more if that makes sense, so you can like briefly shrink yourself as you go up if you let go of the building and latch back on quick before falling too much) sorry if that didn't make sense! There is an end! :)
The title doesn't lie, the rat does scale a skyscraper.
The grain on the game is very funny. It's a fine game, kinda was waiting for something new to happen. I think the most fun part is jumping off. Funny sounds for getting hit.
Love the style of the rat model and how it gets CHONKY over time!
Nostalgia - 100
Fun!
Gameplay loop got kind of repetitive. I didn't like how you were kind of forced to be at 100 forever, like occasional items could be cool that shrink your size.
you don't have to be at 100% forever! You can let go of the building briefly shrink down and then latch back on before falling too much, :) I'm glad you found it fun and nostalgic anyways!!
personally, i found this lacking - the gameplay got repetitive and boring quick, and easy when you realize when music happens, the rock is dropped on your current position, so you just move from previous position to a new one
the best charm was the visual style of the low poly 3d with a realistic rat texture thrown on, that was cute and my favourite part.
with some polish, various levels aand more of a 'puzzle' feel with different things to scale, different obstacles, this could be super fun! but this just wasnt for me
that's fair! The rocks are random so maybe I could have had more randomness to it so they wouldn't always be above you in cases, yeah I think some polishing with more stuff could be good thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you liked the rat :)
Im a big fan of the eerie almost liminal aesthetic that this game has lol. Great job!
Fun game, I like the two steps forward one step back sort of mechanic with the jumping off and on the building. Well done :)
How is it so nice to play. It looks like a shitpost, in the best way possible, but it plays smoothly. I like :)
thank you :>
Loved the atmosphere. The rat slowly growing in size with the individual vertices growing and shifting was super uncanny. Felt like something was gonna approach me from the other side of the building. Also loved the cheese collection sound 👌
Super fun! The normal mode has a really nice difficulty and hard mode feels like a real sisyphus simulator! Also loved the sound at the top ;)
