Very impressive for making it in scratch, well done!

Submitted

Good for a scratch game! Perhaps Some enemies or something would make the gameplay have more depth. Good job!

Submitted

Nice game, although some sounds and effects would make it look better.

Submitted

nice little game! Definitely needs some sounds and music. I think adding other obstacles or power ups would be cool too. But overall a good starting point!

I'd appreciate it if you could play/rate my game as well! :)

cool concept but the parallax loops very noticeably and was disorienting, the player was also sometimes lost in the background, but still a fun experiance

Submitted

Interesting way to move with a scrolling background. I wish to have more objects or obstacles but the concept is clever. You should push more the idea, I like it !

Submitted

Nice! The background loop is a little harsh. It could use some obstacle like a bomb or something to add variety to the gameplay. Good luck!

I mean Refresh

Sorry, in scratch you click the green flag but on itch you just have to restart.

Thanks for all of the feedback!

Simple and sweet little game, controls worked well and the graphics were easily readable. The background in particular was a great touch, giving the feeling of ascending layers of a cliff. Great game!

By the way, we played your game on our stream!

Finally met a scratcher

The bottom of the screen caught me up before I understand what to do ^^ The next round was better, though

I could not understand what to do. So if I just keep clicking on the top of the screen, the game never ends? Like I didn't understand the win condition. I know it's an endless runner kinda but what am I playing for? The concept of the grapple mechanic to move around is good but maybe instead of making this an endless runner, you could have made it a platformer where the player has to move around using the grapple and avoid moving obstacles. But still, a good effort.

The point is to get as many gems as possible while also keeping up with the screen.

Nice short concept!

It just feels a bit weird to be able to rotate once the gripple is "fixed", but it doesn't stop you from playing at all. The game is in the theme, no problems on that. It just lacks a difficulty curve, like faster scrolling with time, or ennemies, but good job nontheless!

(Important note however: being red/green colorblind, having a black character on a dark-red background makes it invisible most of the time, I could only know my position thanks to the glowing yellow eyes)

Good game. The gripple is good looking. The background is good but not seamless. You can, e.g. duplicate the bg to create a seamless effect. And if the gem is too close, the hook should grab it instead of going over it. That would be interesting.
