Review

This isn't a good game, but it's so close! All it would take to fix it, in my opinion, is a slight tweak to the way rope-jumping works. Pressing left or right while you're hanging onto a rope scoots you left or right, and if you scoot far enough, you fall off the rope and die. There's very little margin of error when you're jumping off a rope, which is something you're required to do a lot. If they just made it so you can hold a direction and jump from a rope consistently, it would still be hard, it would still be punishing, but it would be fair. I still liked it enough to finish a loop of all the levels, possibly just because of the music.
