I'm not sure where or what the photos are! I liked the crystal area though, pretty! :gem:

Wasn't quite sure what to do at first but I got the theme pretty quick. I was able to climb through some floors and ceilings though. I got a bit stuck.
You can go up ropes for ever! I fell in a place in which I couldn't get out. I think that the map is to big and have very little variation.
I liked the character design tho! It looks very good!
I enjoyed this a lot! The scenery is very pretty--in fact, I wish the pictures in the gallery were the scenes from the game! The ropes can be a bit buggy sometimes, but I enjoyed myself a lot.
I found a few spots where i could climb to heaven, but there were no good pics there. I explored the caves more and found some good stuff. I like that the pics showed up in the gallery too. That was a nice touch. Just need a few more gameplay elements like enemies and/or powerups to extend your torch and this could workout well.
I enjoyed it!
After touchin a rope you can go up and down forever, through walls and stuff. If you touch second rope while at it the real fun begins. Art is a bit rough but kinda nice. Overall gameplay idea is not that interesting for me but I prefer action games so thats that.
Graphics are good! Sound on beginning menu is good too! Could have used a better track during play. Also, I fell down a "shaft" and found that I could not get out. It's never a good experience to get stuck in a game. And there's no way to quit the game once you start playing it. Next time add a pause/quit feature. If it weren't for being able to get stuck like this, this is a pretty good game!
Really like the character design, animation key frames are nice, needed a few more frames and it'd be perfect.
The graphics, mood and music are top-notch. The get-stuck thing kinda ruins the experience a little though. Also, a reset button like somebody already mentioned.
I like what you were trying to do, hope you keep working on it! Really solid entry!
I really liked the character look and animation. But I don't know what I have to do in the game. I walked into a trap area where no way leads out and on one rope I climbed out of the map.
love the graphics. They grated on me at first but the contrast between the boring caves and the features are brill! Gameplay is a bit broken - you can climb on ropes forever and sometimes it didn't take a photo of somewhere that seemed to be a place of interest. Also music was not great - got tiring very quickly.
Great work though!! Lovely concept, would love to see it polished.
I really liked the ambience, and loved exploring the caves hunting for interesting spots. It was always exciting to find new pretty places.
Collisions and "rope" mechanics were kinda broken though. I fell right through the floor several times after jumping down, and in my few attempts, I consistently ended up unable to backtrack because climbing up ropes didn't really work as intended. It was impossible to "hop off" the rope at its upper end-point, so I was instead stuck climbing up an invisible rope to infinity. I had fun though, but I'm a bit sad that I'll probably never get to see all the interesting places in the cave.
Fun entry overall. I hope you can fix those bugs in a post-jam version!
the main character is nice but the sound is a little annoying.
It's a nice game. I have the same problem that others commented like the infinite climbing and I got stuck in some parts of the cavern. Also I think you may add some fire or place where you can refill a little bit the torch, so the player can wander more in the cave. Nice touch those photographs of some places :) And I like the character design. Nice work!
The graphics looks pretty nice and some of the locations in the dungeon is very well design. The sound effect was simple but quite atmospheric. However, I felt that the gameplay could use some improvement. For example, I constantly run into bugs where I can climb an invisble rope up / down to nowhere and cannot drop down from the ropes. Or I cannot proceed at some of the places, etc.
Great potential, the execution lacks a little. However, I did enjoy the art though.

It's nice to see a decent quality platformer overhere, although it (i mean I) obviously misses the jump ability, and the animation looks kinda strange. I would like to see the polished game tho, keep it up!
That was actually interesting, you explore a cave and take a photo of specified places until the torch runs out. Then repeat. Good take on that. But there was no jump, just in case there's no where else to go (that should require to go to a platform by a jump) you have to wait until the torch runs out. The player sometimes glitches when it lands, climbing animation looks missed to the rope and the falling was harsh, which also made me a little dizzy. Still playable, and worth for players who like to search for beautiful photography within the game. Good job :D
Neat graphics! I included it in my Ludum Dare 39 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYbvh0qo8Vs
Liked the character art and animations. The environments were interesting to explore. I did get stuck somewhere though, like there was a ledge I couldn't backtrack at.
