Did you work in a team?
2 Members, Me (Broskibble) did all the programming, and art.
Blue.Nocturne did all of the Music, and SFX.
Was the resolution a challenge?
Yes! At first it was hard for me, and I had to restart because I couldn't make the first game work.
What did you learn?
Entered the jam just for fun. and I did have to find many new solutions that will hopefully be helpful in the future!

good sounds and music, graphics are well done (maybe some more backgrounds would be nice). Even though i wasnt any good in it, i had fun playing it
Thank you! some more art variation would be nice, but i wanted to work on the programming. Blue made thr amazing music & sounds, they really fit the game perfectly.
Everything gets better with grappling hook :D
Nice work, very pleasant gameplay. The only drawback is sprite flickering too fast when the fish is moving.
Thank you for all of the feedback! the sprite flicker is due to pixel snapping
Cool concept with a fun soundtrack and effects. The grappling was something I hadn't seen before, especially at this low resolution, but I think y'all did a fantastic job with it. Good work!
Thank you!
Pretty fun game! I like the music and swinging around from frames from the wall. The game is quite difficult for me.
Thanks! Blue.nocturne did an INCREDIBLE job on the music, and swinging is very fun! The game seems to be difficult for many people, so you're not alone!
Oh hey I remember you from the Discord! The game's physics work really well and I really like the concept. Nice job!
Nice i remember you as well! Thanks for the comment. Your game seems cool as well! :D
Great little physics platformer! It was pretty challenging at times but I couldn't put it down until I finished! The music is so good too, it definitely helped keep me going! I enjoyed playing this, nice job!
Thanks so much! :D the physics took a while to get right.
Really fun, but challengingly precise, grapple platformer. I loved the title screen music!
I played in on stream, the vod is up at http://bit.ly/bean-stream
Thanks for playing! cool vod :D
It's a fun game, with an incredible soundtrack.
Sometimes the resolution gets a bit in the way, in the sense that we can't see much further ahead so it's kinda difficult to plan your moves and you have to think quickly. There's some stuttering with the graphics but it doesn't get in the way of gameplay. I like the grappling mechanics and that you're able to select which level you want to play (so if you're stuck in one you can try another, etc)
Also, the main character is full of personality (I mean, it's a fish with sunglasses!)
Good job!
Thanks! the resolution does make it smaller, and the stuttering is also due to that.
Fun. Grappling feels good. Looks and sounds good. The difficulty scales up well.
Thank you.
I like the idea and the music was really good. I think the movement could be improved, it was a bit frustrating slipping off the sides of the desks or dying to the invisible floor while still being attached to a painting. I also didn't realize you could swing with A/D and that made the game a lot easier haha :)
Yeah, if I ever improve this game, I think i wanna change the player collider to a square. your game was amazing as well!
First of all that music is incredible. what a bop, so funky.
The actual game is a great concept, and outside of some minor physics weirdness, works well. I had fun playing it, and the controls are intuitive and fun to play with. Looks good to, there is a lot of character in that little fishy.
I think this could be an awesome little game if polished up and stuff, I would play it for sure. Especially if there is more of that bomb music.
Super thanks! Blue.Nocturne made the incredible music. Eventually i will deffinitely update and polish this game! Ill ask blue to make some more music!
The game is a bit rough and finicky but it's quite fun! Love the music too, nice job.
Thank you so much!
I did it \o/ those last 2 levels were so hard, 9 was definitely harder than 10 for me. I didn't know until level 9 that you could move < and > while grappling :') the mechanic is so well made! really fun game :)
and the music is great too! reminds me of old sonic ^^
Thanks! \O/ levels 7 and 9 are definitely the hardest!
Simple. Neat. Cool! I love the crazy concept of a fish with sun glasses having a grapple hook cant wait to see this be expanded on
Thanks! the fish with sunglasses and a grappling hook is a really fun and silly concept! maybe i will add more to this game in the future! :D
I really love the controls in your game! You made it very fun, but if you grapple on the sides of the painting, the grapple doesn't work which bothers me a bit. The lego hitboxes are enormous but doesn't really take away the fun I had with the game. Really great game overall!
Thanks
This is a hard game, but really addictive! I like everything in this game, though I encountered some bugs while swinging with A/D.
Thanks! the A/D feature is sorta buggy, and i didn’t have enough time to fix it.
Oof. Tough game but fun. Graphics, music and charm are all very good. Great job.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it, and glad its fun!
