Here is its eulogy, a collection of the kind words written about it while still among the living. They shall live on forever in its place.

Attempt to rescue Rapunzel amidst flying boulders and arrows, while collecting flowers to bring to your soon-to-be wife!
She is a beautiful, remarkable young lady...right?
This was made for the Game Jam 5 in less than 48 hours.
Here is a review of the game by the great german guys at fettspielen! Check it out:

good, complete, game
I find it interesting that the two game jam 5 games I have seen whose makers claimed the limit to be 2 days had the most complete games. This game, like perhaps one or two others, actually feels like a complete game. I think, though, it still could've been more complex. There was no progression, nothing that made it seem like I was getting closer to the end. It could've been as subtle as a shift to nighttime, or holes in the tower from cannonfire. but overall a great game.
Review
Pretty basic game, nothing too original or new. Had good music and was pretty to look at. The swinging was a pretty realistic addition to it. Fun overall.
Can I just ask one question, why are we still climbing her hair if she is throwing down boulders and arrows at us?
She's not. It was a very tough game design choice, make the game ultra realistic and have the player just simply climb up which wouldn't be too fun, would it? Or we added in boulders and arrows to actually have an incentive to play the game.
So everyone who needs 3 scientifical studies for us to justify every pixel in our game can go screw themselves.
good game
nice idea and not bad for such a sort time period.
good game
i like that there is an end a lot of games like this have no end u just play for a score, not to hard, it is what it is, nothing wrong with it
Don't get me wrong...
I'm not saying you guys did a bad job at all, as it was fairly well done for 48 hours. But wasn't there a game just like this not too long ago, where instead of riding the hair, you climbed up vines, and had a troll chasing you from the bottom?
