I like the idea! I dont know if the different orbs have different amounts that the player climbs or not, but I could see the difference in speed.
Nice work!
Glad you liked it! Yes, they do have different amounts! The bigger the orb, the higher the player can climb. Thanks for playing!
Good fun! I didn't really get if there's a difference regarding which orb you select, or does it not really matter? Anyways good game, great job!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! The size of the orb you select determines how high Climb Bot climbs after you successfully resize it. The bigger the orb, the higher Climb Bot can go. Thanks for playing!
It seems like the ball just has different height but the stop button doesn't seems to be useful. great job nonetheless!
The music was a bop, really made the game more lively. The current gameplay is a bit easy since you can just press A or D randomly until the box is green. So it could have a bit of reworking. Overall the game have potentials to expand and it's a solid entry. Cheers!
I'm glad you liked the game! The thing about pressing A and D is that it takes up extra time while the monster climbs higher, thus giving it more of a chance to beat you to the top. But I know that part might need a bit of balancing as well.
Would you say pressing A and D feels random because there's no visual feedback? The orb does grow and shrink when you press A/D, but it can be difficult to see, especially with the small orb size 💀 Will try and work on that as well.
Thanks for playing!
Cool concept! More balancing could make the game more fun! For example, the purple orb is OP imo, made the game too easy. Otherwise, good job on finishing! played https://twitch.tv/hedge_in <3
I'm glad you liked the concept! Yeah, I definitely should've paid more attention to how much height the purple orb gives you 💀 Also I have no idea what happened to the game's sound in your stream, the song is supposed to loop endlessly without those huge gaps! 😭 First time seeing that problem, might have to look into it. (Also sorry for it being a bit loud.)
I was indeed asleep when you went live 😅 Wish I could've made it to your stream, but thank you for playing!
Interesting idea. It's obviously really simple, but that's not necessarily something bad. I really like how you have to get the timing down for the different orbs. I really enjoy stuff like that.
A really unique entry. Good job!
Very fun and simple game!
Thanks for playing!
Simple game and easy to understand. The game needs a little bit of balancing. I was just spamming the biggest ball removing the challenge of the game. The game was fun to play. Great Job!
Balancing was something I unfortunately didn't leave a lot of time for, and was also something I was new to. Still, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
Simple mechanics which they are easy to understand and easy to jump into the game. I had the interpretation that the ball that I needed to use would be something I had to manage because I would need to a specific but instead I can use whichever so there is no reason to not always use the big one. You can potentially fix this by either have them be on cool down, spawning at random, or having some sort of indication on the red box to tell you which color of the energy ball it would accept.
Thank you for the feedback! Something like that is something I was considering but didn't have time to implement. Thanks for playing!
This was so cool! Loved trying to time the orbs right <3
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Nice simple game! I always picked the big orbs to win as fast as possible. Trying to time it was fun.
I think the instructions gave me a bit of paralysis, but that’s the only issue I can think of.
I'm glad you thought it was fun! Trying to explain clearly and succinctly how the game works was something I had trouble with. A proper tutorial level might have helped, but I definitely didn't have enough time to implement that. Thanks for playing!
Interesting take on the theme. I like the king kong art a lot lol
My friend who did the art told me she was unconsciously frowning while drawing the monster and trying to make it look mean 😂 I'm glad you like how it turned out! Thanks for playing!
