Ladder Grow by One Seed Fruit

[raw]
made by One Seed Fruit for LD34 (COMPO)
Made in about less than half a day. There are only 2 buttons to control the game. Left and right arrow keys, or A and D keys, or Z and X keys, or left-click and right-click.

Stop and wait for the monster to be gone when you see the flashing red door.

I really enjoyed this game. At first, I was really unsure of what I was supposed to do xD I got up to 170 before failing. Good job!

Nice idea, and crazy music :)

Not bad, but it seemed more like just an endurance challenge than anything. Also, I would have made the sounds flow better, instead of cutting off the way they do.

Control matches content. Nice tension and pacing. Great concept!

Nice game :) I got pretty far. It's tense when you have a monster blocking your path and another coming up the ladder after you. The music adds a lot to it.

Looked a bit dull at first, but I found it really fun to play. Super easy to get your head around and just enough challenge to keep going :)

I got to 420 and 7 escapes before giving up, a nice addicting game. With some fluff and power-ups, it would fit in perfectly in an app store :D

There is no restart button after you die :D

Fun game!

Not sure I call the game over sounds easy to listen to music but that was an interesting game. I liked the smooth climbing animation. Not sure how to get pass the red door with the monster though.

Thanks for playing my game everybody! @Starspell actually you're suppose to stop and wait for the monster to disappear before continuing the climb (while hoping that there's nobody chasing you from behind). :D

Nice concept, but how to escape the monster in front?

@AkirAssasin you can't. You have to stop and wait for it to be gone. :)

Audio was trippy and not in a good way. Great idea for a game though.

I reached to 500... with only one escape! xD

It's really an endurance challenge, maybe in the future would be cool to have power ups, jumps from ladders, etc. ;-)

Good job!

Alluring & addictive qualities - you are somewhat of a magician for making it in less than 1/2 a day ;)

I really liked the concept, pretty smart. Could definitely see this continued!

Quite easy, but I have to say that I love the Game Over song. :D

Decent work. Could do with some music and a bit more of an introduction / tutorial along with a restart button. Well done!

Nice work. I made it over 500 before I just stopped.

Simple game, well made. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/S5oK4fsls3Q
