The grappling mechanic felt really polished and fun. Played around with it and swung around for a good amount of time. Even more impressive that you did it in 2 hours.

My browser freezed while trying to launch this game, but I got it to work eventually, and the grappling mechanic felt really nice. Its not an easy thing to pull off and its very unfortunate that you started at the last 2 hours ;-;

Anyways, good game!

The swing feels great, I am surprised you got that going in the small time you did. Amazing job.

really great concept. I made it to the top fairly quickly and was sad to see that was all to do. great job with what you were able to accomplish! UI could use a reticle. cant wait to see more!

Hard to start the game, i don't know why.

The grapplehook feeling is insane. I'm bad because this movement is really good but ... nothing to do with it. Perhaps you can just add an object to get at the top of the structure ... i want a goal !

The game is hard to start because I selected opengl 3.0 without knowing about the issues it causes in the browser. I have a fixed version but uploading new files to the jam entry is not permitted.

As for the goal. I had a really cool idea for this game but I didn't get around to it. I wanted to 3D model a castle before the jam which I could use as the level (since importing art is not counted towards the 3 hours). The Idea was that the player goes around collecting 'magic orbs' that make the castle slowly emerge out of the ground, revealing new paths and area's everytime the castle rises. Ultimately a 'treasure' is revealed in the deepest point of the castle.

This would've been achievable if I was more familiar with the engine and I had time to make the castle 3D model. Lemme know what ya think.

unable to play, the game does some funky things to my browser.
