OK, I rage quit it after 5 mins xD Still, it's a new concept and I really love the visual style. This could be a great game, if only I was more patient...

Really innovative idea, I like it. The graphics look great and the music fits really well. You have to be really patient for this game, but eventually I made it.

I think, much more puzzles could have been created with this concept. You did not use the concept to it's fullest.

And I don't get why you need two buttons for grabbing the ladder, as both functions could be with one grab ladder button and everything would still work.

Pretty difficult at first, easier once you get used to it. Would be nice with more levels. Pretty good overall though.

I like everything about this. Just wish there were a couple more stages. Finished it it about 2 minutes or so. Still a very well made game.

Found it not so hard at last, too bad there is no more levels.
Good concept, I would like to see more.

Perfect example how animations can turn a rather simple game into something that looks it's had quite a bit of time into it. Great job.

The moveable ladder is a good concept. The key combinations to make it work are probably over-complicated, but that's something that can be fixed.
Solid concept that could give some fun puzzles.
I don't see much relation with the theme though.

Lol, this is quite hard until you realise you can sit on a ladder and they wont kill you :D I did really enjoy it though, good on you!

Yay, I win! It's a bit short, but the concept is solid. Graphics are great too, especially the animations.

Great game. As everyone said before, It's damn hard. Better make a few less challenging puzzles at start. I didn't understand why there was a different key binding for moving around, that was abit confusing to me. The graphics are awesome, and yes the game-mechanics are somewhat innovative.
Very nice entry!

Thanks everyone for the compliment and great feedback.
I will consider to make more levels, adjust the difficulty, get rid of one key and polish/debug the game. When I do so you'll find the game on this page =D

Very hard but really cool. Who knew a ladder could create such an interesting mechanic. Graphics and music are nice too. Good job!

The graphics are sweet and the sound is really top-notch.
But is the game really supposed to last like 1 minute? I didn't find the game hard at all, I died like once when I still hadn't understood how the ladder works, and the once more trying to go up to rescue the girl.

And I was really surprised to see the game end after so abruptly and quickly.

Also didn't understand how it fits the theme.
