Swing through a synthwave themed hole in the ground, and inevitably fall to the bottom. A lot.

made it to the end but missed the final boost pad. giant doors closed behind me. Soft locked without a win screen. Counting it as a win! Also just wish the range on the grapple was a little longer. Felt a bit out of reach every time which was frustrating but other than that fun game to swing around in! Nice Work

Developer

oh nooo haha I was afraid that might happen to someone. Thanks for playing all the way to the end,  glad you found it fun anyway :)

This game just feels so good to play! I keep coming back to it. My only complaint is that it is difficult to tell the blue lined platforms from the pink ones as someone who is red-green colorblind.

Developer

In a fully polished version I'd probably add a filter for that, sorry you had that issue.

Thanks for the support though!

Amazing game, really fun to play. Challenging at first but feels great when you pick up the mechanics.

All in all cool game, at first it was very disorienting but eventualy I got the hang of it. Very fun to play :D

The gameplay is fun and the synth music, and graphics to compliment it, were great! Perspectives were disorienting at first but it was easy enough to get comfortable with the surroundings.

I liked the swinging mechanic, I would have liked a small tutorial, but when you get the hang of it, it's satisfying! The visuals and audio are on point too

Visually looks great! Some more indication and feedback on when i can grapple cant and whats happening exactly. Camera was a little jarring at times when it locked on. Overall pleasant game! Nice job!

Developer

I'm curious what you mean by lock on, the camera shouldn't be moved at all except for by the player. Glad you enjoyed though, thanks for playing!

Loooove the style, colors, music-- the atmosphere is incredible! The swinging motion is also very clean. Would love a little more feedback on when I can grapple onto things, but that might also be my very bad eyesight doing me dirty hah. Loved it!

Thanks so much! I definitely could have made the grappling visuals better, but I simply ran out of time, but I really appreciate you leaving such a positive review!
