I'm going to second what MidnightPlease said: some power-ups and a variety of characters with different abilities would make this a more enjoyable game. I certainly think there's some good potential here. The vertical direction of the game reminds me of Knightmare Tower by Juicy Beast Studio, which is a great way to enhance a gamer's sense of striving to overcome a challenge — aiming to reach the peak and all that. Unfortunately, the current design makes this game not only an exercise in frustration, but also one with very few rewards.

I would recommend one of two things: either 1) change the control mechanics so that gamers have a better opportunity to employ skill in trying to be successful; or, if you're set on keeping the element of luck/randomness, 2) liven up the gameplay by allowing various power-ups/upgrades to be obtained on the way up the tower.

(The music is somewhat repetitive and simplistic, but I kind of like the beat!)

Keep up the good work.

this really isn't any fun

One button games need hair fine mechanics and the feeling of progressive mastery to work,

Afther spamming x for like 10 minutes and getting nowhere i just feel like this game doesn't have what it takes.

maybe add some powerups or different characters with different jumps ?

Maybe don't spam X for like 10 minutes if you want to enjoy playing a game?

I don't know why but I could play it only once. After i died, it stopped working, as the character wouldn't jump. It happened before, but since I could play I thought it was fixed somehow.

My one real complaint is I can't see what I'm unlocking using all those coins that were so difficult to save up. Like maybe I didn't want to spend 500 coins on a panda. Other than that this is pretty fun and quite challenging.

jump button did nothing, clicking or x. you should really think about allowing A and D to act as the left and right arrows. nobody is going to use the mouse with the arrow keys - its just not standard and WASD + the mouse is very much what is comfortable and acceptable for most players.
i'll come back in a few days and check this to see if it's playable by then, but refreshing the page didnt help anything so i have yet to actually begin any kind of gameplay other than switching characters... im using chrome if that makes any difference, but i find that generally when my browser is the issue the games dont even load as opposed to being broken in some way.
good luck with this... i see a lot of other people had the same problem and that you are actively troubleshooting, so i wont blam this despite being kind of frustrated by it. 3 stars because i feel like it might be a good game if it worked lol

LIDgames responds:

A and D as left and right arrows have been added thanks to your suggestion. No more mouse input, jumping can be done by X, Z, up arrow, or space. Thanks!
