My first XNA game. There's an installer version at http://mattmakesgames.com/games/ActionMonkeyInstall.zip if this doesn't work for you.
Gameplay Video: http://vimeo.com/28020677
=======================================================
PLEASE use a gamepad!!! XBox 360 controllers will work natively, but I included JoyToKey for other gamepads.
Press F4 at the title screen to toggle screen mode!
=======================================================
TIPS:
-You can cling to walls AND ceilings!
-While clinging, move to a corner, you'll climb around it!
-Try jumping from a wall cling!
-Try ducking then jumping!
-Stay above the pink line or collect coins to fill your multiplier bar!
-Every time your multiplier bar fills up, you get more points for the time you survive!

Very addicting, but of course also difficult. My current top score is 1508 but I will certainly try for better than that.
Good graphical style, but the music gets pretty irritating after a while
A bit too difficult for my taste, but it feels finished, polished and playable. Good music.
Liked the game ( like all the others you made ;) ) Good music and polished gameplay. Got a little Icy Towers vibe from it too. Good job~!
I don't have an XBox controller but with keyboard the game seems to be quite difficult. Especially the cling and jump mechanism requires some planning. Nevertheless a fun game. The soundtrack is great.
it tooks me8 8-10 tries to feel at ease with th control, but after the game was prett addictive.

Neat entry that feels complete. I never found out if there was an ending to the game, because I was terrible at it! (I use the dvorak keyboard layout, so the jump and climb buttons were in very inconvenient places). However I did manage to survive for a few minutes.
I was far too preoccupied running away from the lava to even consider collecting things or staying above the pink line. Perhaps if the points/bonus also slowed down the rising tide? (Or, if it did this, perhaps it needed to be a little more obvious!).
Overall, well done!
