Why is the score so low? It's literally peak. Hands down an all-time favorite.

One day, he broke his legs in a freak accident. After realising he would need to pay 8 digits in hospital bills alone, he started crawling up a mountain to evade the bill. But the IRS are coming for him, and he can't go back down...

Very accurate name. This is peak.
Excellent game with really satisfying movement and using the crutch feels epic
Simple and fun, but towards the peak the bounces get ridiculous and progress is impossible.
EDIT: OK, got it... now explain how you're supposed to use the crutches on the final climb.
Have jumped while right-clicking but you can't throw the crutches while spinning.

Sorry about the lack of tutorial, I wrote the controls in the description, pressing middle click resets you back to the last checkpoint!
For 3.5 days this is pretty good. An issue I had with the controls is that climbing walls is almost impossible, and if you land on a wall on the right and there is no wall to your your left, you're practically screwed. A jump orb that gives you an air jump similar to the green orbs Celeste has would've solved this problem at some spots. The player feedback alongside the visuals are well done and have a big impact on the game. I stopped playing at the long wall up, because as I've said climbing is almost impossible.
