Thanks for providing source code so I can play on this mac. I think you might also be the only submission using this particular template that updated the URL for the "open source" button. Yay.

It took me a good while to accidentally get close enough to a gumball to notice that they get an outline when they are grapple-able. It can be a bit hard to notice this is going on on the lighter colored balls if they are close to the maximum distance.

I also never really got to experience the tutorial properly. I guess you're expected to jump to initiate it, but that never really occurred to me to try. It's not listed in the table of controls. It wasn't even obvious to me that I needed to go up. My first attempts were going down. Seems a bit obvious in retrospect, but that seemed like the only way to get to balls to grapple.

I agree that I didn't really have a good intuition for where I was or where I was headed. I guess if I look straight up the rotation gets kinda wonky.

I eventually got to one of the cube things and hung up my grapple there.

Nice idea! It was a bit disorienting, but the colors were really pretty and I love grapples so very cute :3

nice color scheme. It was difficult to understand where I was though without a frame of reference :\

Well enough made, the gameplay didn't hook me. Looks great, ad there were a lot of entities!

This game made me feel like spider-man and that alone makes this an awesome game. Physics are really fun and definitely a lot of entites
