- OTHER INFO TO KNOW -
Hello. Thanks for checking out my game.
The first room is complete; fully traverse-able and playable.
It's supposed to have random room generation but that'll wait for now.
Heavily inspired by White Knuckle by Dark Machine Games.
NOTE: // My game Upper Hands may prove difficult if you have no prior experience playing games like White Knuckle. //
Principles:
- Keep one hand always grabbing. Then, alternate hands.
- When falling, reach upwards to "parachute."
Thanks for playing. 🍵
- UPDATES -
Feb 18:
> Collisions are now disabled when not trying to reach a piton. Meaning hands don't get stuck as often when doing nothing.
> Room 1 now infinitely generates. You can now climb the same room forever for as long as you want. Unlike before where the room was open-ended.
Feb 19:
> Added sound effects to jumping, grabbing, falling, and landing.
Feb 20:
> Added new hand sprites.
> Changed the gate texture. Added ambience.

It's genius mechanic like Getting over it, and level design is perfect for it.
One small bug in the first room - it could decide that a player passed the first round and lock the cube in it.
But I trying and trying and trying - thank you, it's very fun!
Thanks man for taking the time to play. Yep, it's a bit hard at first.
Btw that locking thing was intended. It's borrowed straight from another game called White Knuckle.
Would you rather it lock instantly after passing or stay as it is?
I like as it is, but I'm not sure that other people will agree
