I like the swinging penguin :)

Really liked the mechanic here, nice idea with the swinging ropes.  As mentioned, I think the physics makes the A/D controls less useful than just roping everywhere. Really nice work though!

Developer

thanks for the insight, and for playing!

No pude jugar :(. Pero me recordó a Linux jaja.

Good Job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Like the swing mechanic! Works quite well when you get some momentum going.

I just didn't bother moving with the penguin as the swinging worked out better.

Developer

Penguins waddle to much :( they need grapples fs. thanks for playing!

Dude I loved the grappling and swing mechanics...for me controls are weird like movement is too slow, we cant jump and then grapple.

I wish you could hang on the tether and aim throwing the shuriken simultaneously. It would make some of the jumps a lot less punishing.

I like the concept a lot though, and the tethering is really well done. The ground movement could be a little smoother, but it seems a bit intentional because of fast you can pick up speed through other means. I had a lot of fun with the mechanics even though i'm bad at it. lol

Submitted

Agreed with some previous comments. Jumping was a bit too difficult. I couldn't make it past the first swing.

Developer

i understand what you mean. You cant jump while you are grappling, because pressing w makes you climb the rope.

Developer

You have to jump before you grapple

The concept is interesting, and the sounds are nice.  But...  I don't know if it's just my computer, but jumping was hardly responsive to me, and I couldn't really play this.  :(

Developer

well the jump button is W.

Submitted

I knew that.  Still, it wasn't always responsive to me, for some reason.  XD

Developer

Thats very weird. I didnt have time to test on other platforms :( sorry. Did you try reloading it

Submitted

Gave it another shot.  Was kinda figuring out how the movements/swinging works, but...  I dunno, the controls still feel sticky at times.

Developer

Well the penguin moves slow because he shuffles. Hopping around works better.
