How does your game fit the theme?

Fantastic little game!! Such a lovely art style

What an amazing little game! I'm immediately reminded of old classics like Commander Keen and Dangerous Dave both in style and in level design. I've thoroughly enjoyed my time with this. 

And yeah, you can jump on space.

The only thing missing from the tutorial is that you can grapple downwards and move vertically UP. Got stuck on that for a few minutes.

I've been hearing this quite a lot from different people who've played it, I'd hoped that it would be intuitive enough to teach without an explicit tutorial but if I had realized sooner I likely would've put more text in in explaining it. Thank you for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

First of all, the artstyle is great. Gameplay is pretty intuitive and slowly added world features make you wonder what will come next. I really enjoyed playing it. The only thing that I would change are the keybindings (Change jumping from Z to Space).

I think you can jump with space?
