Like the level design!

The exploration is a cool idea but some more animation and sound would give it some life. The fps and tick rate counter was also a little distracting.

Level design is on point. Would have been great with some eerie music and sound effects!

Totally agree, it was a bit rushed and I didn't invest in any polishing like audio, cuter animations etcetera. Would've been nice to do if I had a bit more energy to spend at the end.

Level design is good, although I kept choosing the exact wrong ladder lol. Would have been nice if the player moved a bit quicker. Props for using your own engine.

This was interesting because it was more fun as a puzzle game than other more complicated puzzle games I've played. I think the combination of trying to remember where you are going with where the ladders are is a nice goal to focus in on. With the added story it gives you a narrative reason to strive for that goal. This game also reminded me of the caves in Pokemon, which could have been nostalgic enjoyment as well lol.
