  • This is a fun idea, but the physics and controls really hold it back. I think I understand the logic that the farther you latch onto something, the faster you zip to it, but in practice this makes the game extremely frustrating. Your character is very light so when trying to jump on a virus with a high ceiling you end up zipping all over the place to align yourself, and with a low ceiling you can't even get off the ground to get over the virus. I think maybe giving the player a little more weight, and maybe a small jump or something to make tiny adjustments would make the game a lot more fun. As it stands though, it's very frustrating and I couldn't make it very far

You should totally make a full game out of this!

Developer

I totally will... maybe :)

Had a lot of fun with this :D I can totally see this being the main mechanic for a larger game!

Developer

Thanks - I agree -  there might be some potential in the elastic rope mechanic and it also works well on a touch device.

Fun game, and the swinging mechanic is quite fun. Don't really see how it fits with the theme, but if I am missing something, please correct me.

Developer

Happy you like it! Rubber Man is protecting Mother Earth from evil viruses...

I can see that, but it's a bit of a stretch.

Wish there were a few more levels but swinging is a fun gameplay mechanic. Would like to see it further developed with more intricate levels in the future, but a great prototype.

Developer

Thanks! Levels takea a long time to make but it is one of the most fun part of game making. So no problem adding some more levels!
