In what way does your game fit the theme?
In order to complete each level, you must steal the jewel and then return to the top, essentially rewinding your steps.
Did you write most of the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code and created all of the assets myself excluding the font used for the timers.

I liked, but sometimes I was caught and didn't really understood why.
I had a lot of fun with the game, but often was unsure of what my hit box actually was, and what dangers would hit the hook, or when they would hit the rope.
Agreed, I made the hitbox of the rope slightly smaller than the camera height, and the only obstacle that affects the rope and not the hook are the spikes. Sorry for the confusion, still happy to hear that you enjoyed it though!
Great Game, liked the aesthetic and the gameplay. Well done!
Thank you!
I really like the art and the controls.
Fun mechanic and great theming!
Great job man!
Thanks!
Hey man, great job at the game. Like a lot in it some stuff not much but great job !
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice game and fun concept. I love how the main menu is your base and how it's ugraded after completing levels! The only things i think could get improved is to have better feedback for when your hook is stuck on goo and how to escape it (like make it covered on goo). Also some better feedback for when your line get's caught by spikes. In the 2nd level it took me a few tries until I realized why I was dying. And the last level was way too hard for me XD
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I was planning on adding some goo effects to the hook, but I sadly didn't have the time to do so. I also agree that getting stabbed by the spikes feels a little underwhelming, I may have them flash red and add some particles if I work on this post jam.
