Super good for a first jam submission (pretty sure you said that if not i'm so sorry)! Mechanically it is solid and it feels good to play, I had a lot of fun! The visuals definitely seem rough but overall they aren't bad and they have a nice consistency to them! The music is cool but it goes a little hard, which is cool when i'm going fast and making progress but not so much when i'm gently floating helplessly back to the bottom! Thanks for making this!
No problem! Thanks for the feedback!
This game's presentation undersells its gameplay, it's really fun! I wasn't able to beat it since I got stuck at the part after the rockets with many single-tile stairs to climb up. The level design is good; most of the time you can save yourself from falling with a well-timed grapple, but the threat of losing a lot of progress is always there.
I found the physics to be occasionally frustrating. Sometimes I would bounce on a 45 degree angle and not be able to grapple, making me lose progress that I feel like I should have kept.
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Yeah, the ground detection is a bit of a problem, due to a hacky solution I needed to use. I can probably fix that post-jam.
I got to the rockets, this game is the best I've played so far
Very fun and challenging! One thing that I think would suggest would be if we could grapple things mid-air that would've been very cool - put perhaps that would make things too easy haha.
Very cool submission! Good luck c:
This game was really fun to play! It's challenging but not in a frustrating way
very cool and oddly satisficing sometimes
