Alright, so, ehm, lol. Sort of beat the game without left clicking at all XD umm so but yeah. best game for speedrunning of the year award goes tooooooo *badadadadalalalaump* *drumrolllllll* NPC 48! Pro tip: SPAM C YOU GO ZOOMIE ZOOOOOM NYRRRRRM!!!!!! I was able to clear every gap and even swing out of bounds with this lol. Anyways I would recommend placing a trigger collider in the top half of the player to check if the player can stand up again, and also always allow the player to add some momentum to itself, as I've found myself stuck on rocks or under that bit at the beginning teaching you to use "c". Also would love a toggle to switch crouch to ctrl. or shift, maybe use an or gate instead? ZOOMIE ZOOM GO ZOOM!!!!!!!!!! EMBRACE THE ZOOOOOM. Keep grapple and keep the zoomies but make levels where you run from a firewall and have to zoomie zooooom swing across mega gaps and through a giant hall thing (about as big as the end bit with the spinny bits, but longer) and get to an exit/transfer terminal at the end, this would be fuunnnnnnnnn. ZOOMIE ZOOM ZOOOOOOM VROOOM NYRRRMMMMMMMM "when the bug is a feature :)" absolutely. Maybe make platforms small so not much runway and then swingy swingg go swinnnggg whoOOOOOSH and SWING. Would love to see this game be speed based and go zoomie. gr8 game tho good job much enjoy bug was not bad only enhanced the game. 14/15 stars. Also CARLSON!?! :O :O :O :O :O

I like how the input system feels for players! Nice entry for the jam!

Oh, sentient NPCs, my biggest irrational fear.

That feeling when you're working on a game, it's 2AM, the only sound you hear is the computer fan, and suddenly you see something that looks out of the place in the corner of your eye.

I once jumpscared myself in the editor. I was working on something on one side of a map, and then i saw two glowing eyes starring at me through a door frame. Turns out it was a car with lit headlights i added to the other side of the map a day prior.

Protip: Keep hammering c for prime speedrun strats ;) Why use a grappling hook when I can yeet myself across a chasm at mach 5?

liked the platforming physics a lot, unfortunately I couldn't reset to checkpoints so it was kind of a pain getting stuck

Thank you!  When the voting period ends I'll see what I can do to fix that bug.
