looks like an AMAZING game, but im using chrome (which im sure many other people are using as well), which doesnt support the WebGL build that you have published, so unfortunately I cannot play the game. However if you ported the WebGL game to a hosting site such as itch.io, then it would solve the problem. Hope this helps!
I LOVE THE GRAPHICSSS !!!
I like the idea of this one! I also like the graphics for the ships, and I dig the music.
I found the controls really frustrating. Almost every time I lost it wasn't because of the water, but because my little guy suicided down the bottom of the ladder. I would much prefer if I had to hold down S to go down.
Nice work!
One of the best games that I've rated so far! AMAZING art and sound. I feel like it takes too long to get to the destination and it kinda makes it repetitive but aside from that great entry! Congrats!
Very pretty and nice music and sound effects! I found the controls a bit clunky - having to hit up right after hitting down made it hard to be precise. I feel like the hecticness of this game should be from the weights getting placed on the ship, not from the controls. If I could offer one suggestion - make dropping down happen _as long_ as you hold down the down key. That makes it easier to be precise.
Nice job! I think pressing the down arrow initiating the slide made this game very difficult. So much so that after the 3rd time accidently falling off the ladder I said, "okay, that's a cool idea, good job" instead of continuing to try. I'd rather only go down while holding the down arrow and I think that change alone would've kept me playing. Over all I love the art, design, and sound design. Music could've been a little louder because it sounded like a banger. Enjoyed the game! <3
Sliding down the ladders is a tad unforgiving, but I love the idea behind this
Amazing graphics, also, the controls are smooth, and I like the polish this game, has, nice work. Also, if you want to try my game, I'll leave the link here: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/jobb-company
I love the artstyle !! Great entry
unfortunately I also use Chrome, but I love the art, music, and general vibe of the game! hopefully there'll be an itch port so I can play through it myself.
Beautiful and sounds great! The choice to automatically slide down is an interesting one.. frustrating to get used to.
its fun, but ladder controls are weird
Nice mood and good idea, simple yet efficient mechanics. Some controls are a bit rough (especially the ladder) and the difficulty is a bit too steep, but overall it was a good experience ! Great work.
Amazing graphics! Great audio and a real challenge. What's not to love!
Nice game, I really liked the mood, graphics and idea. It's a pity controls are a bit slippery and lacks precision, it could be a really solid entry.
Fun and fast game. The ladder is tricky at first but I actually enjoyed trying to time it after getting the hang of it. Maybe if it was just a tad slower?
The graphics are absolutely outstanding!
Amazing graphics and audio! It would be perfect if you stopped going down the ladder when you let go of S, instead of pressing W. The controls were pretty tough at first, but the game overall is extremely impressive.
This is a really fun game, once you understand how it actually works. I was initially confused as to what I was supposed to do, because sliding down was a bit hard to control so it felt imprecise. But, after failing a couple times, I was able to succeed, so the game was able to teach me through iteration. Other than that, the graphical style is really great, and the music choice is solid.
Graphics look amazing! I agree with some of the other comments saying controls could be refined a bit more, but otherwise amazing game!
Worked well in Chrome for me. I told myself I wasn't going to play any physics-centric entries because it's too obvious for the theme, but the graphics caught my eye. And, wow, what a great game. The graphics and audio are polished, the gameplay is solid, it hits the theme perfectly (if a bit on the nose), and the premise works perfectly with the graphics and gameplay loop. Well done!
Art, audio, and gameplay are all top-notch. My one tiny critique is that I would have liked a player with a little less side in the movement, it felt a little slippery up on the ship. But beside that, I thought everything was extremely well-done.
Great visuals and sounds. Agree with the controls of falling off the bottom of the ladder to be a bit much, and I felt the game went on a little too long, but overall very fun!
Hey! Beleza? We go way back, I think you took part in the GMTK Jam as well. Good to see you again! One of the best art in the jam and the mood is solid as well. The gameplay was as a bit hard for me, but I think it's a personal thing.
I really liked the art and idea, but sliding down the ladder was just to unforgiving for me. I never been much of a platform player, so maybe that is why I had trouble with the mechanics.
It would be great to have an easy mode where you can't slide off the end of the ladder.
Overall, though, a very polished game! I love the art and animations!
Hmmm, somebody have very good idea for this theme, awesome. I love the graphics. Very good mood, nice work. Inovation is what is describe this game, nice. Really ?! That game is really fun, good job. I like that audio, very good. Overall I love your game, it is just masterpiece.
Nice game, awesome graphics, good sounds, i like the box effects also :)
Super cool game! Loved the art.
Awesome game!! a bit too long but I had a ton of fun playing it! good job :)
The graphics, art and music are sooo cool! I am having a lot of fun and it's very fast paced. But maybe a bit too long? Overall great game, tho!
awesome graphics!
O jogo tá muito maneiro. Parabéns!
Very cool game with great graphics! The controls felt really smooth. It felt tuned a little on the hard side but was enjoyable nonetheless.
The graphics are terrific. The night effect is so cool. The music is perfect for the desert-like vibe. The "unstable" theme is totally in the game. Well done guys!!!
I really liked the game! The controls were a bit difficult to get used to at first (especially "sliding down" the ladder that quick and every time you pressed S, feels like it could've been better if instead of auto-sliding you'd descent at a fast speed when holding S?). The graphics and audio was fantastic, overall a great experience!
Love the graphics, movement feel really nice as well.
Dope graphics, original gameplay. I like it, a lot.
Nice game! really had fun Nice graphics
Fast and fun gameplay with great art style! I might make it so you don't fall off the rope and just loose when you drop all your barrels. But honestly that is just my opinion.
Its fun. Its a little too long. I didn't have any problems with falling off the ladder though. That mechanic felt right to me
Great work. I'm not a fan of the fast drop latter, if it stopped at the bottom I wouldn't mind it as much. Also the level is way to long in one stretch in my opinion. But the art and concept are fantastic.
Amazing atmosphere, I feel that the controls could be more arcadey (no inertia and more control on drop). Overall the game is great, loved the scenery change
I think everything that must be said has already been said - the game is gorgeous, the audio is pretty good, the game design concept is solid, but the ladder controls are Half-Life-level atrocious. In any case, although the controls were frustrating, the rest of the game was superb. So, congrats!
Also, good to see a fellow brazilian developer! Oi!
Great game, congrats! Super nice idea, wonderful visuals and sound, fun gameplay. My main complain is that the game is _hard_. First, because of the controls (as other mentioned, it's too easy to commit suicide). Second, because each playthrough is very long.
One the best I played so far on this Ludum Dare! Kudos!
(And hello from São Leopoldo! :wave:)
(PS: Just saw you have already addressed my two points above in a post-jam release, cool!)

Really neat; if you can fix the 4 things I brought up on stream, I think you'll have a real winner on your hands!
Hey!
I really liked the world, art style and vibe of this game. The day-night cycle was a nice touch and overall I could see a lot of the attention to detail in the design choices you made. I think where I struggled most was in execution, where things like ladder fall speed were too high and too punishing in a way that felt unjustified. I can see that there's even a "recovery" mechanic to deal with this, but its implementation was also very situational. Beyond this, I think just a little bit more feedback on things like the ship being overburdened and the negative consequences needed to be flagged earlier, or give the player more time to correct the situation before game-over, as it's such a subtle effect that the player wont really notice until it's too late.
Minor issues aside, this is a great entry! Thanks for the submission, and best of luck with future dev!
Cool theme and art. I love it! Good job.
Hey there! This game was really amazing to play! A real top game for us, amazing art, gameplay and fun. Just may be a bit too long for a single level. Thanks for joining us live!
I finally had the time to come back and rate everything I played so far!
