The wall jump was a little hard for me to do well, but everything else was great! I loved the art and especially loved the grapple mechanic! Tons of fun!
Very solid visuals, feels like a solid piece. A bit hard to control though, wall jump especially. Good job!
I liked the aesthetics of this game. The music sounded great and the graphics looked pretty good. I had a difficult time playing using WASD, though since I can't do platformers well on KB (esp wall-jumping!). I'm much better with a controller.
It's a cute game, I really like the graphics, the pixel art looks smooth! The swing mechanics are very clever and well implemented, but I must say that the platforming experience wasn't the best. Maybe I just suck at the game, but for example wall jumping feels very clunky and got me frustrated really quickly...
Good game. I love the swing and that it is quite fast to move around. Perfect for speed run. However, the wall jump was really frustrating me and I could not pass the second level on those moving walls. Perhaps is my lack of skills...
Great work!
Hey man! I'll be honest, I could never finish even the first level since my computer would crash before I finish it :( I'll just leave a comment but not rate it since I haven't played enough of the level to give a rating.
The graphics are cute, and give off a casual vibe. I also like the typing text for instructions, and the mechanics are really varied.
I agree with the other commenters however that some controls, particularly the wall jump, could be improved, as right now it just doesn't feel right. I don't know what's off about it, but it's there.
I hope to play this for real some time!
thought it was great, the swinging is tricky, collision on the floors keeps stopping me swing, great work though.
Good game and great level design! And fits very well the theme. The wall jump can be improved though.

That was fun, mate! I've enjoyed all the swinging. Some things felt a little too clunky specially in the first levels: the jump wasn't that precise and the wall jump felt somewhat weird when on a vertical corridor. I also enjoyed the pixel art style, good job on that :)
I really like the swinging mechanics! Some levels were really fun but there's still a lot of room to explore awesome stuff with the level design.
ps. I'm the KING OF THE LEADERBOARD, NO ONE CAN SNATCH THE WR FROM ME MUAHAHAHAHAH!!!
Fun game! I noticed that the first three levels are quite laggy (I don't have a great machine), to the point where they were almost unplayabled. I can't say for sure, but I believe this was because of the parallax background. There is also no way to get back to the main menu when playing a level other than to beat it, so on level three because I couldn't return to the main menu to change the level, I had to close the game. Although, that isn't a big deal because the game does boot up really fast.
All that aside, it's a really fun game, with slightly weird wonky controls. Maybe you can add a setting some time in a more updated version of this game with the option to disable the parallax background?
Anyways, thanks for the awesome fun experience, it was a short little game that was very creative and very humble!
Thanks for the feedback! I've gone ahead and added an option to remove the parallax, as multiple people were having frame issues on the first few levels and it seemed like it was preventing people from playing. Hopefully you should be able to play it now! Cheers!
Sounds good, thank you very much!
Good Game #wasatthestream
