This is a very good game. I give it a 9/10. It is pretty hard the first time but you find tricks and get used to the muscle memory in later attempts. All my friends know and play this game at school :-)
It wasn't really that hard. It's like an easier version of I Wanna Be The Guy with a very Super Meat Boy-ish style (I have to imagine you took some inspiration from SMB). And to anybody who thinks IWBTG and this game are hard, you're mistaking tedium for difficulty. No, this game is not hard. You wanna see hard? Play I Wanna Be The Boshy. That game is ridiculous. That game will crush your soul and make you weirdly good at tight platforming. But mostly just crush your soul.
Anyways, if you pay attention to the level design, there is a puzzle in every room (or in this case, multiple puzzles), in the format [tedious part->tricky part]. Your job is to figure out how to get through the tricky part. The tedious part just takes extra time (and sometime just consists purely of waiting), adds to frustration and whittles down your patience, unless you can stay calm and laugh off deaths. There are some hilarious ways to die.
The point is, you have to UNDERSTAND what to do to get through it. If you are just mindlessly trying to force your way through, you will be stuck for a long time. You need to form a strategy. You have to die a few times to learn what does and doesn't work. You also have to be willing to throw away chances at the tricky parts trying different things, like running off a ledge without jumping. Also, using a gamepad/wasd makes it a lot easier. If you're playing a platform hell genre game with the arrow keys, you are doing it wrong. Horribly wrong.
Also, unlike a typical platform hell, I didn't see any noob traps. Noob traps come after some of the tricky parts, and usually involve something like a random spike coming out of nowhere specifically to catch you off-guard, kill you, and make you do the whole thing over again. This game was completely fair.
Overall, the controls were very intuitive and I had a blast with this game. I beat it in about, let's see, 47 minutes with 332 deaths. But don't take my word for it. See the stats for yourself.
Props to you, EvilObjective. You did a great job. I'd give this game a solid 8/10.
Hi Braden thanks for the review. Not sure if you realized it but reaching the top of the tower is only the first half - there is the whole tower to climb back down in order to beat the game!
Yes, I beat the game, or "failed", as it was called. Up and down the tower. Got the "congratulations" screen and everything. I made the review after having created an account and logged in. The screenshot was taken during that time by looking at the stats from the main menu. If you're basing your assumption that I only went halfway on that screenshot, then there's probably a bug in your game.
i had alot of fun with this until i neared the end.
framerates died in the later levels i guess to the dev putting way too many sawblades and platforms in the level(s) and because of the framerate issues my input got eaten alot and i died by inputting spacebar and not jumping, and sliding alot.
i guess a browser game can make an i5 nvidia 1060 lag so much its unplayable
the game was TONS of fun but the endgame slowdown made it feel like a chore to get to another checkpoint.
a version that's downloadable would be amazing so i could toy with the settings and finish it
The hitboxes are sort of buggy. Sometimes I would be nowhere near a sawblade, and it would just kill me for no reason. Another thing that needs some work is the way that movement is handled. I would be moving, and have pressed the jump key, but then fall off a ledge because it did not register. This was annoying, and I even tested with a key logger and shadowplay, and was able to determine with a frame by frame in premiere pro that I had indeed pressed the key about .23 seconds before I got to the ledge... Nitpicky, but it messed me up in game. Otherwise, this is great! I love the challenge.
Ugh, I hit my computer so many times in rage at this lol. Regrets. So many deaths were from failing to jump and careless winging. I just needed to blast the music up more, the bgm is awesome. I actually liked the ending. Different. Though, if Big Square is gonna die, I'd rather push it off the tower.

I HATE THIS GAME WHY DO YOU MAKE IT EASIER
I HATE THIS I KEEP DYING
If you call constantly dying fun, then congrats
I died over 1000 times in this game but its still fun
I keep getting stuck at level 11, getting from checkpoint 2 to 3. Great game, though
The slow water glitch tends to happen when you go into the water while walking on the ground. If you jump into the water it should be fine.
Best time for Pineapple: 15:46
Best time for Big Square: 26:14
Best Deaths: 86
Failed to rescue Pineapple in: 28:10
Failed to kill Big Square in: 40:52
