As it currently is, I can't recommend it.
I absolutely love the concept, and when the gameplay is actually working, it's so fun to scale walls and reach the top. But half of the stones that aren't climbable are exactly identical to the stones that are climbable. The game is very restrictive with what route you can take; it doesn't seem like you're actually following pre-defined rules to climb the tower with your own route, it's more like you're scouting out the route that the developers decided would be the one single way to climb the tower, and any other stones outside of that route are completely unresponsive to climbing.
This is all not to mention the horrendous movement system. I mean, I like the concept. It's a little cool to swing your arms as you might in real life, all in order to move in the game. But no matter what you do, it feels like you're either sliding forward at a breakneck speed, or wiggling around in place, moving slightly in a direction that you really don't wanna go. I've walked into walls and been lazily teleported a few feet back numerous times, no matter how I try to use the movement controls. Simply teleport locomotion is fine. Alternatively, using the trackpad for movement is fine. There's no need to have this fancy gimmicky movement if it's going to so horrendously impact how easy it is to move around in a 3D space.
The climbing system is fun. The gripping system is not. In order to climb, you grip onto the stones of the outside wall, and pull yourself up with that hand while grabbing onto the next ledge with your other hand. That's actually very fun. Except you're way better off literally shoving your hand through the solid stone to be sure you'll grab it, rather than grabbing just the outside of the stone and (nine times out of ten) randomly plummeting back down to the bottom because the game didn't register that you were trying to grab the stone -- literally the only mechanic the game has to have working, and it's finnicky and frustrating to use.
I figured I would recommend this game even if it was just a little good because of the price tag. But after playing it, the experience was just too unresponsive (and at times its controls were eye-rollingly ridiculous) to even merit a second attempt. I wish all the best to the developers and I hope they can improve the game to make changing my review an inevitability. But holy hell, is this annoying to play where it is.
