Worth a look. Great graphics, love the atmosphere and very different levels that keep you climbing up to see more. Well crafted maps----The environments look great, each level looks different to the last and get more challenging. I'm currently stuck on level 4 but I can already tell this game is worth trying out if you like climbingThe climbing is simple - there's no stamina - and that's a good thing. Some of the things you grab move, but the game won't auto rotate you so it's very comfortable you shouldn't need strong VR legsAtmosphere, graphics, audio, lighting - all great, much better than I was expecting from a solo dev! It's a bit annoying that you have to wait for the dialog to end before you can start climbing and i wish the audio had subtitlesSadly it doesn't save your progress - while I imagine this is a short less than an hour experience i haven't got to the end and I've done 3 sessions but people keep interrupting me and I have to start again. (Also there's a 1 hour timer on your hand). I wish there was an option to turn off the main characters groans while climbing. Its not too bad but i thibk people might want that as an option. Also every 5 minutes your timer tells you to keep climbing, i quite like that, creates a sense of urgencyI think on the 4th level I'm stuck because I fell down and I can't seem to get back up the buttons don't work. Of course if i didn't fall it's not a problem.... I really should have died falling that far anyway...I want to keep playing, that's a good sign, and assuming the experience is short i think it's a good thing because climbing is tiring on your arms and I'm glad the dev has made a refined polished experience that keeps you wanting to progress to see what's above rather than a repetitive boring long a** climbing game that takes hours to finish.I recommend it!
Beautiful Indie Climbing Challenge! Updated Review:Thank you for updating the audio! It's a lot nicer and now I'm noticing how detailed the ambient sounds are, like the subtle hiss of air vents as you climb past them.The atmosphere really is wonderful. I realize you're a lone developer and likely don't have the time or the resources to create a big adventure game set in this world, so I can only hope some wise publisher sees this, hires you, then gives you whatever resources you need. Looking around at the first checkpoint I really wanted to wander off and explore. 😁I never imagined I'd be this impressed with a $5 indie game! The art direction is better than many big budget games and the climbing is challenging and very fun.I do have a short wishlist:I'm scared of heights, but I love being terrified in VR so it'd be nice if you could fall to your death. I was scared to fall until I accidentally did, then when nothing happened I was a bit disappointed. Maybe just a fade to black with a yell that's suddenly cut short?Your hands often aren't aligned with the rungs you're gripping.And finally, it'd be nice if you could tap your wrist to bring up a menu to let you quit or restart, but this isn't really important. If you did add a menu and falling to your death, maybe the menu could have an option to disable that for people who don't like to terrify themselves in VR? 🙂First impressions:Great art direction, fun gameplay, absolutely terrible audio!While some textures are extremely blurry the overall look of the game is excellent. Top notch art direction.I've only ascended one level but the "puzzle climbing" gameplay is really fun so far.Unfortunately the audio is so awful it makes me not want to play it. I'm going to put it aside and hope that the developers update the game.Your character lets out a constant stream of noise, "Uh" "Oh" "Ah" "Ugh", as you climb. You sound like the most out of shape, whiny climber ever to grab the rung of a ladder. It's maddening and there's no way to turn it off. If every once in a while you let out a groan or grunt that would be fine.Grabbing anything makes a sharp metallic "ping" like your hands are metallic.So it's "Uh ping Oh ping Ugh ping" all the way to the top.Please, please work on the audio! There's a great game buried under all that cacophony. :)
Fun Climb. Fun climbing game with some fairly easy puzzle elements and a Story with an end i wasn't expecting. For the price its well worth it definitely recommend picking up if you like climbing and have 40min or so to kill.
