### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD 0 STARS

*2023-11-21, version 1.1*

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS TRASH CAN GAME. do yourself the favor

### 1/5 — Terrible game

*2022-07-20, version 1.1*

This is the hardest game I’ve ever played I do not recommend this

### 1/5 — E

*2022-02-05, version 1.1*

There is no control

### 1/5 — Annoying and frustrating game.

*2020-12-13, version 1.1*

I’m not convinced that this game is even possible.. it’s painfully slow and frustrating as at times, rock can fall on the climber regardless of where you put him, so it’s a game of chance and no skill involved at all. Also poor graphics and not fun.

### 1/5 — Free, but garbage!

*2020-08-26, version 1.1*

No rhyme or reason to this game. Climber only uses arms, constant rockfalls, controls are clumsy and unresponsive. You can’t control which limb to move, which is like pushing a shopping cart with one jammed wheel.

### 5/5 — Good good

*2020-05-30, version 1.1*

This game brought me joy and happiness for the month that i played it. For those who cant get past the falling rocks, use your dynamite to go boom boom. Fun game with tricky sequences to figure out (a lot like real climbing....)

### 3/5 — Get this guy a helmet. And a shirt.

*2020-04-11, version 1.1*

Yea, not a great game unfortunately. To be fair when it works it’s fairly satisfying but the climber inexplicably seems to slow down as soon as a rock fall is a coming making it really difficult to down climb and/or traverse away from the imminent danger you know is en route. 

Will persevere and update with any beta discovered. Looking forward to V.02

### 1/5 — I like a challenging game but this?

*2020-03-27, version 1.1*

Like the others said it’s just not realistic or that fun! It doesn’t build to anything and stays almost impossibly hard. I rock climb a lot and don’t see that rock falls! Haha I’m pretty sure this game was created for uber gamer not the casual gamer that just wants to play occasionally!

### 2/5 — Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

*2020-03-15, version 1.1*

The game is realistic but the way you climb is pretty dumb. The falling rocks idea is stupid and you can’t get away from them.

                             ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️

IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE!!!!?!,!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — It’s so hard

*2020-03-14, version 1.1*

It took me 1 year to beat level one
