Good job!

Could use a bit more narrative, but the gameplay was decent)

That's awesome — I never would've thought something like this could be made in such a short time!

Not bad at all! Nice mechanic of climbing, however, the sound is a bit overwhelming :P Movement seems to have a kind of delay, when I release buttons I still go. And some areas may be a bit brighter! Anyway, GG!

до сюда дошёл, управление на wasd такое себе, а так карабкатся прикольно
такую механику сделать довольно не просто новерное, во время джема к томуже, так что похвально

I used the golden skulls in the end to get out of bounds. So I guess I both won and lost on the same run seeing how my victory transitioned over to a "Game Over" screen in red.

Def a rage type, speed running game. I was able to skip the tiles, not sure if its intended or not. Well done though, I had fun playing it.

Прикольная механика клаймбинга, с чередованием рук. Местами как будто хитбокс зацепа можно побольше сделать, но всё и так проходимо, хорошая работа!

Nice game, in debug log I see XR-component, and yes, I VR headset it should be more interactable. I see simillar game called crowbar climber in steam, maybe it will be future inspiration for you. Anyway, nice chill game

Механика классная, прыжков немного не хватает или разгона. Бесконечный спавнер золота в конце жесть)

Very intresting entry, had some troubles with some walls but overall a fun journey. I wish there was a more clear explanation what the different hand colors do, or maybe I just missed them.

A truly unique game in terms of mechanics — I genuinely enjoyed it. Really cool stuff overall. Also had a little laugh at the shadow![тень.jpg](///raw/cd6/36/z/6c0f2.jpg)

This is one of the games that is not very convenient to play from a laptop without dedicated mouse. :D
