Cool atmosphere! The set dressing of the city was simple but effective. I also like how grimy and depressing the tower was. It was an interesting choice to make the movement feel so heavy, I think you could speed up the grounded movement slightly while retaining the feel and maybe having an input that makes you drop faster (or even just releasing jump) could help pick up the pace of platforming. I'm impressed you implemented an item shop in 48 hours! Must admit I thought the hook must've been bugged before I found the chain-linked surfaces. I don't know if I'm missing something or this goes against the vision, but allowing the player to jump from a grab would be nice.

I quite like these kind of first person platforming games, definitely develop this further!

Developer

Jumping from a grab was definitely intended, I think there's something weird that I missed where a lot of the time it doesn't work. Thanks for all the feedback, this is so helpful! Glad you enjoyed

Really enjoyed it for how simple it is, the visuals remind me of blame, so I really liked that part of it, good stuff :)

Nice game! The overall style is really nice, and the player movement is fun once you get the hang of it.

I think the game feels a bit too slow in the beginning, felt like a bit of a chore to collect the points but once you get the double jump and jetpack etc it feels pretty good. The environment is actually really good with the crowd of buildings surrounding the player, I also like the feel of the game. Overall really cool and good job!

Developer

Agreed, takes a bit to get going. Thanks so much !!

This game says a lot about society

Managed to climb with only double jump and hook. I feel it doesn´t fit the theme too well, and the lack of sounds gave me a boring experience. But I like the challenging part of not using all the items to climb, maybe the game could reward the player more for using less resources.   

Developer

Fair enough, didn't have time to add any sound unfortunately. Thanks for playing
