I'd really like to see this game a with a few more assets. Exploring felt nice, I can't complain about the platforming and the grapple mechanic was really fun to use. Combat against the little mobs in the world felt a little slow and tedious, I didn't feel threatened and I didn't think they were dying fast enough. They were just getting in my way as I tried to explore. I'm not saying it should be removed, I'd just like to hit harder.

Good game, keep it up.

This project is shaping up fantastically. The game has a well developed atmosphere. It makes me want to explore. I love the style of your art and animation, especially your color choices. There is clearly a lot of placeholder art, but looking past that I can see you're on track. Just do everything you can to sustain that atmosphere.

One concern I have, is that the action elements (fighting enemies), undermine the atmosphere of the game. I was feeling a sense of adventure, but then when a fly started buzzing around my face and I had to slowly chip away his health, that was lost. It felt annoying. To me, this game's ideal form is actually about that sense of exploration. I honestly think that with care put into the movement mechanics (like the grappling hook), you don't need a bunch of flys and pigs running around. Boss fights could be an interesting punctuation to vary the gameplay.

Keep up the good work though. You have something with very high potential here.
