A very good game i really enjoyed the building aspects of the game
There isn't enough time to build a ladder Who do you think we are?!
Muito bom, depois dessa experiência iluminadora, me tornei um ser humilde e passei a apreciar o mundo à minha volta, recomendo para alcançar o nirvana e escapar a roda da vida.

The game has an interesting theme, but it means absolutely nothing to the gameplay. Gameplay could have been pong and still made no difference. That said, the gameplay here gives no direction or feedback. It's just there to figure out, but gives nothing and is poorly executed.
Game has very weird in game description about "socioeconomic studies" and tells how it apparently affects gameplay? Pretty random for a game that is about building ladder up to the sky. The gameplay is completely random, your only obstacles are clouds, very bad controls, and very bad UI. You get all ladder pieces at start, but to unlock more of them, or more of useful ones like simple ladder that just climbs upwards, you have to place other pieces randomly. On top of that, you get around 40 seconds for each stage to climb to top, and it even counts the time during the animation is done, which is very slow and not even barely close to enough time. Its just a weird, broken game, not worth playing.
รีวิว Jacob : A Game About Life มินิเกมเบาๆ สบายๆ เล่นฟรี ที่เห็นว่ามีจุดประสงค์ให้ผู้คนได้ตระหนักถึงความเหลื่อมล้ำทางสังคมของชนชั้นแรงงานและผู้มั่งคั่ง ถูกนำเสนอออกมาในรูปแบบของเกมต่อบันไดขึ้นไปบนฟ้าให้สูงขึ้นเพื่อทำคะแนนสูงสุด เราจะมีเวลาต่อบันไดเพียงแค่ 40 วินาที พอเหลือ 15 นาทีสุดท้าย เราจะต้องรีบกด End Turn ทางมุมขวาบนของจอ เพื่อให้จาคอบที่เป็นตัวแทนของคนได้ไต่บันไดขึ้นไปประมาณ 5-6 เทิร์น มีอุปสรรคเป็นกลุ่มก้อนเมฆที่ขัดขวางการต่อบันไดของเรา เป็นตัวแทนของอุปสรรคในชีวิตที่ทำให้ชีวิตของคนๆหนึ่งไม่สามารถมีฐานะทางการเงินหรือการศึกษาที่สูงได้ -- มันอาจจะเป็นสิ่งที่เรารู้อยู่แล้ว แต่ทำไมมันถึงยังคงเป็นปัญหาที่เกิดขึ้นทั่วโลกไม่จบไม่สิ้นขนาดนี้ บางทีการสนับสนุนจากผู้ใหญ่ใจดี อาจจะทำให้คนเหล่านี้มีอนาคตที่สวยงามได้ เค้าว่ามาหยั่งงี้ เพราะเอาจริงๆ ตัวเกมก็ไม่มีอะไรพิเศษ เล่น 5 นาทีก็เบื่อแล้ว เลยไม่รู้ว่าจะทำให้ผู้คนหันมาสนใจเรื่องพวกนี้ได้ยืนยาวแค่ไหน
Game is very stupid. You get 5 turns to get as many points as possible with 30 seconds for each turn. If you dont end turn fast enough you lose so many ladders. 10/10 did not learn any life lessons

This game is very excellent. I came across this masterpiece a couple of years ago, and was immediately entranced. Jacob, a game about life, takes you on a journey, exposing the harsh inequalities of this world in which we live in. I'ts a shame that this journey is incredibly boring, and my entrancement with it, is based on how it made it to the steam store. I've wasted 2.3 hours of my life playing this garbage, all to try and get the highest scores on its broken difficulty system, solely because my name is in the title. The ladder selection system is very finicky, and the inbuilt 'message' is honestly baffling. How has a game about climbing ladders through clouds got anything to do with social status. This game was clearly trying to convey a message, however unfortunately, failed miserably. If you're thinking of playing this game for five minutes because it has your name in it, I do not recommend it in any way, unless you enjoy wasting your time.
