Great art, story, and mechanics. Good stuff.

Submitted

Loved this one! Reminds me of some of the old coolmathgames stuff. The swinging mechanic was quite enjoyable, and the music wasn't too repetitive. I did have a bug which was a little game breaking where when I would click would randomly grapple on some point far away and fling me across the map, and also the quit button one the main menu didn't work. Otherwise, fantastic job!

Submitted

Very nice game, easy and fast to play! I like the story behind it. Very good and polished game overall, and some nice art!

Submitted

Amazing game. It is very polished, looks astonishing and has very good music. It has some bugs with movement but overall very enjoyable and fun. 


PS If you have plans for continuing development on this game, I think different difficulty levels would be cool with smaller grapling points and maybe some collectables.

Submitted

Liked the simple controls. Reminded me of getting over it or Jump king - but way easier :D 

Hitting the hook just perfect could realy generate a lot of momentum which was super fun. 

Developer

Lol I’ve been told that alot

Nice game, I could not see the pins that well, maybe brighter colors would help.

Submitted

Nice game! It’s really hard to see the pins that I could grapple on, but other than that I really enjoyed the game!

Developer

Thanks bro!

Submitted

Really nice graphics and audio, but the gameplay needs more polishing, sometimes I would just launch myself upwards at like 1000 mph, you can keep on spamming space to summon the things you hang on which is a kinda cheap way to win, overall nice idea and great work!

Developer

Thank you

Love the game!! Don't know whether it is intended or not, but sometimes I can grab pins way out of my reach and got bounce really far. Amazing idea, very fun once I get the hang of it. The art style is also unique, amazing work!! feel like a complete game instead of a game jam game.

Developer

Yes i am aware of that and i will fix it after the jam lol

Submitted

Nice game! Interesting concept and cool art! Probably a minor thing, but I wished more of the objects fell down like the "well done" note or had some animation when you jump over them (like swinging side to side or something similar) which would make the whole board feel more alive. And the pins are way too small in all this color, I know it makes the game easier if you increase the size, but just a tad bigger would work better imo. Great job nonetheless!

I will get doing that after the jam has finished because i ran out of time when i released the game

Submitted

I liked the art style.  Wasn't super sure what to do at first.  Cool idea and execution!

Submitted

Nice take on the theme! The art style looks great, and the gameplay is fun and addicting. Great job!

Submitted

very good! love the art style, tricky to get the hang of at first but very fun swinging around once you figure out how!

Maybe it's just me but the pins were very hard to see since some of them blends in the background. What I like about the game is the pixel art and gameplay.

Submitted

Rated! I tried this even before the ratings started. It looked really cool. I like the whole idea behind it and the graphics are nice. Also the audio gives a good feeling. Good work overall!

If you want try our game as well and give us some feedback. We took a very unique approach to the theme. Be aware tho the game is super hard but has also some easter eggs haha. :D

Submitted

the mechanic for this game was great! very satisfying swinging about.

Submitted

Amazing game, you did a great job on this, brilliant art, clever mechanic, nice take on the theme. If I had one tiny criticism, I feel that the clickable hitbox (but not the collision with the player) on the pins would be better if it were slightly bigger to be more forgiving as the camera can be moving very fast at times and it can be very tough to click them. Didn't stop me from finishing the game though. Well done! 💛

Submitted

I was fun! And also the art is great!
