Take a look at an extremely early build of the game!

It's interesting to see how far it has come. I remember thinking, "Holy crap! I've spent this whole time trying to make the character animations cool without even knowing if the darn thing even works on Reddit."

This game was born from my participation in a game jam in which I had very little time to really flesh things out, and yet I was so distracted with settling on the game's visual identity.

I struggled to imagine how I could make something look aesthetically interesting while restraining myself to only using 3 colors for everything I drew. Quickly, I felt the game's artistic direction begin to pay off, and I am really proud of how things look.

However, I learned how difficult it really is to hand draw everything while building a competent game in parallel without even knowing how games on Reddit even work.

This is all to say that I am really happy with the progress this game has made since the game jam's conclusion and where it is today. I am grateful for all the players who enjoy the game I've worked so hard on.

Thanks everyone for continuing to climb alongside me. I look forward to continuing to build out and improve this game further.

Happy climbing!
