    Basically golfing over it, but free


    I liked a lot the atmosphere, but as other have said, the arrow should be visible all the time, lucklyly you already said that you'll fix that soon. 


    Tiny game, big challenge, great time playing it :)

    Yes, I was quite inspired by Golfing Over It, but I didn't want to replicate its visual style because that would feel like copying the game.

    I just uploaded an update so the arrow is now visible on top of everything.

    Thank you so much for the review! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Your visual style works well :)


    Will play the game gain when I have time! I hope this time i get further ๐Ÿ˜

    Brutally hard but addictively fun. I do feel that the enjoyment of the game is hindered by the arrow going behind the rocks, though.

    Thank you very much for the comment! For the next update I will fix it and make the arrow appear above everything

    Really fun! For a game as punishing as this it's oddly super relaxing. Felt like I had reached some sort of enlightened state after a bit. My highest score so far has been 77M. Absolutely diabolical but genius decision to have the spinner start rotating counter-clockwise to the left of the player  since I feel like it prevents you from cheesing your way up in the first section of the game when you're climbing up and to the right (so many times I was like "AAAHHH ARRRRGGG I WAS RIGHT THERE!!!" and then immediately went back to playing LOL). Very well done!

    Very fun, and masterable! Only suggestion I have is to make the arrow that spins around the player not disappear behind the rock. Otherwise addicting game!

    I'll take the advice into account and for the next update I'll fix it so that the date is displayed on top of everything ๐Ÿ˜

    Super addicting, wish the max score worked because I got over 60 (no spoilers but I got pt2). Nice challenges, great job keeping things simple but good!

    Thanks for your comment! Are you sure the max score isn't working? If you refresh the page, it should show it, at least that's how it's supposed to work.
