Collect as much filthy lucre as you can. Match 3 or more for bonuses. Stand under a ladder (or click on the grappling hook) to climb a row. If you get stuck it's game over, hit refresh and it *should* remember your high score (somewhat untested feature).
Tested in Chrome and Android Chrome, but hopefully other browsers will be OK with it. Seems to be an issue with the audio playing consistently on Android.
Some minor changes post-compo to make it fit on your average phone better and to adjust the difficulty for 9 columns instead of 10.
That was really fun! The ladder mechanic is really interesting, and a bit funny how you used snakes to pull you down. Feels like you combined bejeweled with snakes and ladders! I like it, well done!
Great game concept and execution. This would be fun as a mobile game. It's a tricky game, too. I kept making little mistakes, like ascending before was was ready! Excellent work!
Quite a fun game, reminded me of a Bejelewed with a much better-thought gameplay with the ladders and the snakes and the annoying things-with-spikes-on-it.
Worked on my Nexus 5 in Chrome! I was surpised how fun this actually ended up being. I love it! I would strong encourage you to continue to polish it! I think it can be a great game!
My initial thought was a very unfair "oh, match three", which I took back very quickly. A very interesting take on the idea, so consider me apologetic and impressed
This is a cool game. Once I realized I can click anywhere along the row to switch, it made the game much better and more complex. I didn't see any use for the money (maybe buy more hooks?), but I didn't get that far.
Really clever game! It took me a bit to really grasp the game strategically, but there are quite a number of interesting movement options. Very clever design, I enjoyed it a lot.

Let me revise that: did you make Snakes and Ladders AWESOME?
I could play this thing for hours.
@Pcholt as far as I know the mechanic hasn't been tried/done before, but yes, it is a shameless mash-up of Bejeweled and Snakes and Ladders.
Perhaps I'm unfamiliar with the rules of match three games, but I'm only able to move left and right.
Does the spider have any other interaction than hurt you?
I couldn't find one, but I liked the snakes' mechanic.
