How does your game fit the theme?
Getting Deeper It is a game where you get deeper down to reach the goal. Which fits the theme of diving deeper. You can also swing with your grappling gun which is technically diving when you are falling :)

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
No. Almost all the code and assets is made from scratch but the game music and sound effect are free commercially available assets.

I really liked this game! The movement feels great to work with, and it is very satisfying to fling yourself right into the end of the level. However I did get to the end of level 2 and got stuck on the corner of the orange block that had the goal, and couldn’t get up(So I had to reset). Besides that, I really enjoyed this game(btw if you want, plase check out my weird little game)!

Developer

you can press r to restart if you got stuck :)

I felt like spiderman. You can improve game map design  it was a bit confuse.

Developer

overall, the game extremely fits the theme! 

also i like the grappling  :)

The concept is fresh, the swinging is always great in videogames, the falling and grappling speed felt a bit slow in my opinion. Very cool game though.

Neat game idea, I liked swinging around the stages with the grapple hook! Though not sure if its on my end but the game ran rather slow and made trying to get around much harder. It was also kind of hard to find where the goal was or if I was heading the right direction. It was a fun game though, nice work!

Developer

yeah I made the player mass pretty low so it swings pretty slow. You can swing faster if you build up some momentum though. Thanks for the feedback!

Cool game idea... felt a bit like spidy :D but i was a little confused what i should exactly do while playing

Developer

Cool idea for a game! I really enjoyed it!

Cool mechanic! Needs some work but fun overall

fun game but no pause button. Could have been a nice final touch since many games should have that. but this is probably the best game I tried out today!

Cool mechanic but I think the movement is too slow, You could make some sick swings with smooth fast movement. Nice game.

Developer

thanks for the feedback! You can increase your momentum by swinging back and forth but it’s a bit hard. I should have increased the mass.

Nice! Keep up the work. You should go check this game ( made by KevEatsCheese ) after checking mine too, it uses the same mechanics as yours, you may get inspired?

for sure! That’s really interesting :P

That's a really cool mechanic!

Awesome little mechanic. A lot can be done with that mechanic. I do wish there was more indacation of where I was suppose to go. I got a bit tired or restarting over again because I went the wrong way. I do think the ragdoll mechanic is one of the most interesting I played so far. Fun game!

Developer

thanks for the feedback!

The game is very nice, it's original. I just find the texture of the character very strange.

Developer

lol I made it on paint in 20 seconds and rigged up a rag doll on the legs. Appreciate the feedback :D

Submitted(+1)

really fun movement system. The only thing i would say is make the character faster, it would really give you a sense of momentum. Would you mind rating mine? https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236551

Developer

thanks for the feedback! Sure.

Thank you!

The movement mechanics are very cool and unique. I also really enjoyed the minimalistic art style. 

Submitted(+1)

Its fun to swing around! I wish the character would fall faster though. Its a good concept

Submitted(+1)

I had a little hard time understanding where the goal was but i was fun swigging around !

Developer

thanks for the feedback. I felt like it would be too easy if I made references of where the goal is because plays can quickly drop down and get it.
