Very good game. Simple and very addictive. I liked the random map generator which made a little bit of variation into the game.

Nice little game. Maybe you want to add some levels and upload it to Google Play?!

Very addictive, i played like 20 times until i really finally got to the final step. Love the simplistic graphics, they work very good! The randomness makes it interessting over time. I would love to see it out the on the market, adding some more different obstacles/ block types and I think it´s ready for the market!
Awesome game all in all!

The concept is good, it looks good, but I think it could use a bit more than 2 types of dangerous stuff. Also, the difficulty curve could be a bit steeper. I think it was a bit too easy even at the top. I think, at the top, there should be something dangerous on like 2/3 of tiles to make it very challenging to get to the very top.

Super fun and cool!
I like the audio design and the simplicity of the game.
Very cool and great little polish.

You could make an infinit mode, would be cool (add something like this, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepard_tone)

Simple, clean and polished - love it! The obstacles were a bit annoying to wait for though, considering the aim is to get as low a time as possible, other than great work! (santa hat was a nice touch).

Really great game. Really fits the two button theme, really nice graphics, sounds are okay, could be a little bit louder. The Santa's hat is a nice touch.

At the first time I got to 82, never again got further than 50...
I love the sounds. Or the sound. Anyways it's a nice touch.

I loved this game, the way the pitch changes the further up you get is great. The traps were a nice frustrating addition and this game has officially made it into my book of "beat" this game when I have time!

Graphics were nice and minimalistic, audio was good, I had a blast playing and overall it was a great entry.

Thank you, hope to see more of your games in the future!

Lovely game, simple but great sounds and visuals, solid idea, and the hat. Great work! :)

Nice little game! I like the increase in pitch, as well as the tension you feel when you're standing on a fading block, waiting for the spikes to go down.

Liked it :D, very awesome. If you want some sort of score attack tho, you might want to create levels (not generate), so that you can poke fun at your friends for the score you got on a level... OR, make it endless so rhat the random doesnt affect too much. OHH this game is soo full of potential, finish it :D

Decent endless runner for a jam build. Sound and graphics are both quite good, but it's a little lacking in character otherwise.

The shifting in pitch as you get higher is so rewarding. I love how you've put in a timer and a score counter, alot of people don't. The art style is clean and precise

Really neat concept!
This could be a really good game when you put some more time in it. It's easy to grasp, and could be made more complex with some more work.
Love the graphics!

Such a simple game, and yet I replayed it so many times. It was more difficult than I thought and quite enjoyable. I was not expecting that level of fun. Nice job!

Pretty cool game! It's really addictive. Simple and fun gameplay with a certain "just one more try!!!!"

Almost like flappy bird in that regard.

Add music and polish it a bit and you might have a mobile hit! I'd pay some money for it!

Really good job!

Awesome. It's so simple, but perfectly executed. I love the sound, and the art fits exactly. I don't think I'm brave enough to hone my time down, but I can definitely see a draw to do so that's not present in many LD games. Nicely done!

17. Dec 2015 · 00:58 UTC
Brilliant game! Minimalistic graphics, sound and gameplay blend perfectly here, it's really addictive. If you keep working on it in the future (please, do!) it would be cool to add other tile types, as some people have already mentioned.

Congrats!! :D

Amazing. Classic "why didnt I think of that" thing. So much potential for your android app as well (backgrounds/themes/players, competitive scoring, complementary handcrafted levels, additional obstacles/falling onto platforms/multiple routes...). My only critique for this compo would be that you dont explicitly use the time as a score when finishing which is very easy if you play slowly. You could have e.g. made it so that platforms behind you start falling down. Congrats and nice hat

21. Dec 2015 · 23:39 UTC
Yes, please...more. I kept losing the level at the very begining before I even pressed a button on a few rounds, but that didn't keep me from playing this a billion times before I made it through.

The level was just the right length. Long enough so that when I beat it, I felt like I had accomplished a large amount, yet short enough that it wasn't a big hassle to get back to where I had left off. The sound effects really added to the game's experience and the graphics were nice. Good job overall!

My best Score is 44:70 ! good execution and nice sound design. I would just make these spikes kill you only if more than 20/25% visible.

Great game! most fun I've had with an entry so far! The only problem was that when you tap really fast the game doesn't register the presses. So it's impossible to get the Really fast times.

Absolutely incredible. I don't really have a single complaint! Simple, addicting, good feedback while climbing. This is something I'd play more even post Ludum Dare.
