Really fun once you get the hang of it. Would be cool to have something like an infinite ammo mode so you can focus more on the jumping part without the worry about your ammo. Also liked the funky creature designs.

Yes the rest of the level is semi-randomly generated after the first 4 platforms, but from a lot of play testing I made sure every platform is crossable (even the super long gaps) if you are good at conserving your ammo and arm length (you can shoot downwards to push yourself upwards with the recoil, your gun hand is also your main movement tool too. Your grabbing arm gets shorter the more you climb with it unless you find uncommon hand pickups!)

Thank you! Yeah some more particles besides those white pixel ones I added for everything at the last second wouldn't hurt.

Thank you! If I make the camera move with the player, I'm gonna also have to make the spawning better so you wont outrun it lol
You're not suppose to go to every platform with JUST the open hand, you're supposed to mainly shoot downwards to blast yourself upwards with the recoil to them (and if you read more of the controls, you'll know that your arm length gets SHORTER the more you use the open hand without getting hand pickups, so you have to balance how much you use both hands!)
Yes! I love the idea of reaching for each Platform,
the scrolling part is really slow for me, would really help if the camera would just go up every time you reach the next floor or just simply follow the Player, so i don't need to wait for the game to scroll high enough just to go up.
and 
experience this multiple times too, some floor can't be reach

Thanks! You're not supposed to use the open hand to reach to EVERY platform, it's more of a back-up/second tool. You're expected to mainly shoot downwards to launch yourself to other platforms ("Shoot downwards to blast upwards!"). The more you use the open hand, the shorter it gets (until you find some hand pickups to extend it!)
