A Short ClimbITS YOYO TIME, HAHAHAH. The different voice lines at the end of the level made me laugh every single time. I also love the name "Oyoy." This was an absolute blast to play. The mechanic is super unique, and the yoyo feels super satisfying. It really reminds me of the yoyo in Terraria, which I absolutely love.
The only "negative" I noticed was that there's sometimes a small lag when killing an enemy.
Besides that, this is overall an awesome start for a full game, if you plan to expand on it.
Good job, guys!

Plush Toy Rush!Truly the Dark Souls of yoyo platformers. Great art style reminded me of the old NES and SNES games. Fantastic job

Skeletrex ShowdownThe concept is really unique!
I needed some time to get used to the controls, I thing you need some patience here :D But I can see how a game with such a mechanic can be a blast. And the idea of yoyo+knight is awesome, it is something you won't expect :)

Whispers of the WorldVery cool idea! Great interpretation of the theme. Its a lot of fun, but i struggled a bit with they keybindings. In my head the jump button was SPACE, but its scaling the yoyo. I loved the moment when you yeet an enemy into the pit :D The sound effects are 11/10. PRAISE THE YOYOOOO

Hatchling HavocFun idea! Game feel was great, I liked the platforming sections more than the enemy bits. This makes me want to go ahead and make my diablo game idea haha

Up To Your Neck In BeerInsanely creative idea. The design language was really clear, pretty much spelling out exactly what you needed to do, and the last puzzle was an especially neat culmination of all the yo-yo shenanigans you've been using up to that point. The yo-yo itself is also an incredible feature, being so flexible and useful. My only complaint is that I wish the yo-yo resizer button was on RMB instead of space. Had quite a few moments where I resized my yo-yo instead of jumping out of habit! Fantastic game nonetheless. Awesome job!
