Entry for GB Compo 2025 - GameBoy Competition. #gbcompo2025
DEVELOPER HIGH SCORE = 784
Dev Note:
Unfortunately, there was no balancing done in time for GBCompo2025.
The game is very tough from the start, with no progressive difficulty.

New Highscore: 1120. I dig your game!
>: o !!!!!!!!!
I think you could generate the blocks in a way that ensures they can be climbed (even if you have to figure out the route). Cool though!
Thanks! That's an interesting thought. Maybe I can hard code some patterns and mix it into the random ones ... hmmm.
A bit unfaire but funny game ! My Highscore is 453 (yes one point above the comment below haha)
Yeah, sorry about that! I think its a bit unfair too. I didn't get a chance to balance it. But I'm glad to hear you think its funny hahaha!
This is fun!!! My Highscore is 452
Thank you for saying so! 452 is not bad
