First of all, Awesome Graphics and Art Style. The animations were crisp and clear except the one where the big robot fires the laser or dies. The biggest issue is that the hook should shoot in a sphere around the player and not to the point where the cursor is. It should like the dash in Ori and the Blind Forest in a direction, not to a point. And just make it so that the player does not stick to walls. Apart from that awesome game.

Could you please rate my game too? It does not have as good visuals as yours but it would mean a lot to me if you checked it out.

The game looks great and the music fits in well, although there were a few things I noticed that I wish were fixed. The character sometimes sticks to walls, if you're holding down any of the movement keys after grappling your character doesn't move or do the get up animation (which confused me a little), and there aren't any checkpoints, making it feel very difficult. Other than that, I enjoyed it. Nice work!

Great looking game but it feels lacking a little by no obvious way to go other than right.  If felt more like a demo with a few mechanics than the full game.

I like the pixel art! I was running into an issue where the character would stick to the walls, but still fun!

I loved the 8-bit sound and the graphics. I  finished level 1 but always instanly died at level 2, don't know what to do there haha

Great job!

Graphics and music are great! I felt like playing an old atari game.

There are some glitches, you can stick at air if you jump to a wall sideways, or you can hook air. But it's a jam with limited time, of course there will be bugs. Although, those doesn't prevent anything in gameplay.

I found the difficulty a bit hard, you make a minor mistake, you immediately die. But that's just a personal matter, some people like that hard. So that's not a minus.

Great game, I liked it.
