    Thank you very much for the fast code.

    When i saw the video, i immediately fell in love with the gameplay, right up my alley, i thought. Well, after the first few jumps i only can confirm this.
    Plan ahead, memorize and/or react fast if you messed up. Fast and skilled finger-eye coordination is needed to reach the top. No iap to hold your hand in these around 10-20 seconds long levels (these are the speedrun times). Maybe they get a bit longer (?) but i'm only in Core 2 lv6.

    The controls are very responsive, but i'm desperately in need of inverted controls = jump left / climb right. Could you implement this BEFORE release, please? I'm pretty sure that others might want it too.

    In a game where you die a lot, a fast replay is very important. I'm glad to report a full success here. Very well done Devs!

    My guess, the suits are only cosmetic, but cute...lol

    Unfortunately, there seem to be no Gamecenter leaderboard or achievements. If i'm correct and personally seen, a bit of a big fail for a game like this. Implementing later as an update darkens the first impression, already.

    Good luck on your release!

    Glad your enjoying Atomic AL, and thanks a lot for the really great feedback.

    We're working on a bunch of stuff to update asap. 9 new super hard levels, 2 extra control schemes (inverted and dynamic), and Gamecenter integration with achievements.

    We massively appreciate the interest, and hope you have a blast playing through the rest of the game!

    Cheers

    I'm at Tutancore lv5 now, and i'm still not really used to the (unnatural) upwards sliding after a landing, though i perfected and collected all tasks and costume parts, so far.
    I dare to foresee that some people will moan about this fact. A lot of my deaths came from this issue and they always felt a bit cheap. All in all, the last pixels are not on the players side. But you made it clear in your description that this is a hard game, and i'm still up to your challenge, no doubts from my side.

    Another little nit-picking point is when i push any button, i expect to hear a clear and crisp "klick" as a feedback (my personel preference). Here, if existence, i hardly hear it, and inside the Core menu only with a unsynchronized delay.

    Will there be a endless mode if you're game makes some dollars? That was my first big thought when i saw the video, destined to be an endless climber.

    Edit: reached the third stage Quadcore 3-3 and some speedrun times seem very tough, but still fair and doable.
