Art was very well executed and easy on the eyes, and Sound Effects helped to underpin that chalk-world feel. Gameplay was great, too.
Thanks, we're glad you like it!
Great art, fun but challenging
Nice work! Is it intended that the "ball" that create a chalk-rope are not destroyed after death? Cause this allows you to spawn with a rope that is going across the map, with which you can potentially make some cool plays.
Thank you!
So we did notice that bug during development but I left it in for that very reason, it's pretty janky if you don't know about it all I might make it harder to perform, and I haven't found any shortcuts with it yet but I'd be amazed if it didn't break any levels, most likely the third
There's also a bunch of deliberate movement tech in there and I'm curious to see if players find it
Using chalk-drawings as the game-art is an interesting twist on the game, which I quite like. The Game Concept is quite interesting with the implementation of the theme. Nice Game!
Thanks for playing! <3
Great game! The game feel and sound effects are very satisfying :)
Thank you very much! :)
Wow I love the grappling hook mechanic. Grappling in general is so fun, and you made it work well. I think its a nice challenge but not too difficult either, good job!
Thank you!
I really enjoyed this game, it was a bit difficult but this is what it makes even more enjoyable, great work :))
Harder for those game veterans haha Thank you!
Cool art style. A bit too hard sometimes, but overall really good)
Thank you!
Fair, I'm a master platformer player who didn't spend enough time balancing the difficulty so I imagine it's wayyy over-shot
Excited to play yours when I'm home!
Took me about 10 tries to get over the first spike pit because I’m quite crap at platformers that require mouse input, but it was totally worth it and I only died 3 more times before reaching the finish line :)
I have a hunch that twin stick gamepad input could also work for this game (left for movement, right for grappling), I’d love to give it a try.
Very cool art style and sound effects too!
Thank you so much!
Grappling hook mechanic is really fun, camera movement makes things kinda funky but overall really nice entry for the jam!
Thankyou, I think that was the only major bug but will be fixed post jam :)
I'll be back when it's fixed!
Fixed it! Got permission to update this build
GOD I LOOOOVE GRAPPLING HOOK PLATFORMERS. the camera is a little bit weird, and the most notable bug is that sometimes for no reason when the countdown blocks explode, you are still grabing on them. also when you are holding click on something when you die, it does not reset the hook, making you fly across the room still hooked to that platform, also sometimes the hook goes trough stuff for no reason. but apart from that its a preeetty fun game! had fun with it.
YES! GRAPPLING HOOKS MAKE THE GAME!
Haha thank you for the feedback!
Thanks, glad you liked it! And really appreciate the bug report. I addressed most of these in the post jam version (see itch page description) and will definitely keep polishing,
Hey another grappling hook platformer! Feels nice to play and was really satisfying when I successfully made a jump. Nice job!
Thank you for the feedback!
Cool mechanic! The camera could be better but really nice game overall!
Thank you!
Yeah agreed, it doesn't feel great when you line up your shot only for the camera to move.
With more time and polish I'll definitely get it feeling better.
Yes! Keep it up!
we fixed the camera a bit, thanks again for the feedback!
Thank you for the feedback, will be post jamming bug fixing :)
