Above&Beyond [DEMO]

jeez lots of attempts for me

Its awesome, it took me almost half an hour but its worth it and I need more, PLEASE

this is awesome dus great job but now i need to get back to trying to beat it lmao

I really like this! It's short but you managed to pack in challenges that reward precision, patience, and good timing. It took me a couple tries but I eventually made it. The ending feels weirdly hopeful and I like that in contrast to how oppressive the rest of the game is. One thing you nailed is the simple but effective game over screen. It caught me off guard and it really clicks with the theme of the game!

If you're looking for something to iterate on, I think it would be easier to control if climbing ladders was tied to a different input. I found myself jumping off a ladder when I hit the top, leading to a lot of game overs on the first set of circles. I would also suggest a variable jump height like other platformers, where you get a longer or shorter jump depending on how long you hold the jump button, it makes it feel a little "tighter" but it also might make it too easy.

Really well made, I couldn't break the game, it feels very complete. Good job!
