- Your feedback is needed! Last Major Update in works! - 16 September 2024
Hello everyone, Ladder it Up is not definitively abandoned despite the lack of updates recently. I'm working on the final update, which will include new content, some fixes, and more. So if there's anything you'd like to see in the game, feel is missing, or if you simply have any suggestions, please share them on the Steam forum or join the Discord and post here: https://discord.gg/AsFdUh85cR There's no set date for the update yet, but I think there's a chance it might be released before the winter sale. The new map, along with the ASCEND mode, will bring a typical climbing game experience, with the addition of new mechanics as well as those you've encountered so far. The level is still in development. It won't be very long, but I believe it will offer a good amount of fun and new challenges. There are a few more things I want to introduce, but I'll wait to announce them until they're r…

- UPDATE #5 - Ladder fixes, Easy mode overhaul, better visibility - 13 July 2024
The previous update was quite recent and fairly large. Today's update feels similar in size but focuses more on fixes and improvements rather than new content, which is why it's not a major update, although it’s just as important. PATCH NOTES: Fixed the Ladder spawn indicator. Now it should correctly show whether you can place the ladder or not. Ladder spawn location will adjust to the nearest object. Fixed spots where the ladder would slip. Added a new checkpoint and Ladder restock after the volcano on normal difficulty. Checkpoints will be reactive. Re-entering the checkpoint will overwrite the previous checkpoint. Improved flow at the beginning, in the cave, canyon, volcano, and lava cave. Added graffiti explaining the appearance and function of ladder restock. If you approach the altar without a ladder on your back, it will spawn where it was left. Added lighting to the Hell Tower i…

- Ladder It Up #3 - Improved Ladder Consistency, Increased Grab Range, and more - 8 July 2024
Hello after a short break! I'm back with another update aimed at improving the consistency of the ladder during spawning. Improved ladder consistency. The ladder will now rotate much less and should no longer twist uncontrollably upon spawning. Slightly increased the jump HEIGHT when the player is at normal size. This helps solve the issue of some jumps requiring pixel-perfect precision or being inconsistent. Slightly extended and thickened the zone needed to pick up the ladder. In other words, it should be easier to grab it now. The character has been moved forward by a few units (visual only). This gives the player better control and awareness of whether they jumped too early or too late. Adjusted the size and angle of some rocks to achieve greater consistency when landing the ladder. Smoothed out distance restart. The camera will now smoothly return to the default position if the pla…
- Ladder It Up #2 - Quicker Ladder pick up, Ladder spawn cancel, Camera Changes - 3 July 2024
There will be one more update before I leave. This update contains some Quality of Life changes, as follows: Reduced time needed to pick up the ladder after spawning: 1.45 -> 1.3 It should help you keep the flow. Added the ability to cancel ladder spawning. Simply click the pickup button (RMB) while holding the spawn button (LMB). Camera view reset when player moves Now, when the player moves after zooming out the camera, the camera returns to its default position. Changed spawn and initial obstacles on the hard level. Added an extra rock in the narrow passage at the beginning so players don't get stuck between them Even if it didn't affect gameplay that much (you could always jump out from it) it could make player confused. Fixed a bug that didn't reset death in lava on game restart or going back to menu. And that's all for now. Remember to report any bugs, issues, or suggestions via t…
- Ladder It Up! - Update #1 | Ladder Spawn fix, Ladder highlight and more - 2 July 2024
The first update is coming out today and includes the following fixes: Improved ladder spawn system The ladder will no longer perform tricks like a skateboard when spawned too close to player. Player now blocks ladder spawns. Ladder should no longer spawn inside or behind walls (there were a few such spots. Thanks Plami). Added a highlight for the ladder when it is far from the player. This will help locate it in dark areas like the Crystal Cave. Added a "Restart" label next to the game reset button. Improved lighting in the Lava Cave. Fixed a bug that caused the ladder to spawn after clicking on the menu screen. And that's all for today. Report any bugs, and they will be fixed next week due to the trip I mentioned in my previous post. Additionally, I want to thank everyone who purchased Ladder It Up! You are awesome and keep climbing!
- Ladder It Up is out now! - 1 July 2024
It has finally happened—Ladder It Up is available. I made a quick fix regarding the burn count; you can now summon a burnt ladder using the time crystal, along with a few smaller tweaks! The game is priced at $10, so if you enjoy climbing and are curious about what's at the top of the tower, give it a try! If you encounter any bugs, please report them via the Steam discussions. A small note: I’ll be on vacation from Wednesday to Monday, so if there are any issues, I’ll address them as soon as I return. Thanks for your understanding!
