Cool mechanics, just wish I had a indicator for rocks close enough to grapple too!

Cool game. That lava is SCARY! :)

Controls feel nice, after you get a hang of it.

Would be nice to get some feedback when the grapple is close enough to attach (like changing cursor shape). Sometimes I wasn't sure if I'm close enough to rock to grapple it, with 3d is sometimes hard to estimate distance accurately.

I didn't manage to complete lvl 2, I got to 3rd checkpoint but then a bit after that there was a point where I couldn't find a place where I could grapple higher.

Cheers!

Cool idea! I managed to beat level 1. It is an interesting mechanic to climb with the gun. Well done!

I could read all the texts but one during the tutorial. One text was behind the rock. No way to read it.

I played with the web version and I get a strange behaviour i was'nt able to move thanks to the mouse. Keyboard inputs were perfectly detected. I had to teload the level.

And for sure grappling feature is always a cool thing :)

I couldn't figure out how to get on top of a rock successfully. The text was kinda hard to read. The grappling hook mechanism was really cool, as was the music! A tad difficult though.

Developer

The last level is difficult thats for sure! Thank you for playing!

Hmm, Mac download appears to be faulty, shows some of the source code instead

Developer

Damn it! I can never seem to get the mac export correct, sorry you were not able to play.

Nice game! difficult to read the text on the tutorial tho!

Developer

Interesting! I don't think I added an actual font so it's probably due to the in engine font it uses.

Thanks for playing!

Hi!

So you should probably disable depth test for the Label3D in the tutorial. It is almost impossible to read the texts!

The SFX for button clicks is really harsh, also some crossfading for the music would do wonders, because there was some serious pops there too.

I would have loved to see if I can reach a rock or not, with some indicator on the crosshair perhaps. 

Maybe some dark sound effect from the lava when it gets closer would have been cool too. I was never looking down, so I had no idea of where the lava level was.

I managed to climb to the top at last!

Developer

Ahh is that why it's hard for others to read? Ill keep that in mind next time. thanks!

I wish I had more time for the sounds, I added them at the last min unfortunately.

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you could beat it! The last level is not that easy :)
