How does your game fit the theme "Unconventional Means"?
It's an action platformer with no walking or running. You need to jump to get around, an UNCONVENTIAL way of getting around.

Best game I've tried in this Jam (so far). Good controls; I'd feel more comfortable with a controller (with a dpad, etc.), but maybe that's just my background. The concept is great and the game is fun, really nice work.

Overall, a really fun and creative game!
Thank you for playing! Yeah, I've noticed the Chromatic Abrasion was turned up a bit too high after the fact. Guess my eyes got too adjusted. Can you tell me how the controls were stiff?
I think the main part of the controls I found stiff was the wall jumping, but mainly just wall jumping against one wall (like what I had to do on the second level). I think other than that, the controls felt fine.
Hm, alright. I'll keep it in mind.
This was really fun! :D I love the music! It took me a few minutes to understand the grapple but that's totally on me, I love it! My coordination is too bad for me to complete it, but still, really fun game, and it fits the theme really well!
Thank you for playing! I plan on updating the grapple mechanic do you don't have to use your mouse at all.
It was fun to play! Great palette! ^^
Thanks for playing!
Fun game! well done! C;
Thanks for playing!

Nice game! It has some physics problems, but overall it's pretty cool!

Thanks for playing! What do you mean by Physics problems?
The same thing that others already commented xD, the triangle shaped arch in the wall jump and the grappling hook physics are weird.
Got it.
Great game! The graphics were really good, as well as the audio. The game mechanic was also a pretty cool idea! It was fun, innovative, and a great response to the theme. Overall, I really liked it. Well done!
Thanks for playing

I think more time should have gone into tweaking the grappling system. I found the physics to be a bit unwieldy at best
Although the overall visual design is pleasant, as mentioned above I feel the post processing is a bit overboard. Its way past “aesthetic” territory in some places. To alleviate this I would simply reduce the fish eye lens effect if possible.
Overall really well polished and designed experience. Great job!
Valid criticism. I will be updating the game after the rating week is over, even if it is just tweaks. The visual criticisms will definitely be adjusted.
Thank you for playing!
The wall jump is quite hard to control and you seem to just change direction mid air which is pretty weird and unintuitive. Otherwise graphics where great, I loved the animations between the levels and the camera effects where great. Good job!
Thanks for playing! What do you mean by "you seem to just change direction mid air"?
Sorry, it was a bit misleading. I basically meant that the arch in which you go back to the wall is kind off unnatural. I was expecting a smooth arch but you actually go back to the wall in a spiky triangle shape.
Ah alright, that's fair. I guess not having an arch is quite weird for a jump. Thanks for telling me.
At first I didn't know how the grapple works. But after reading Nick!'s comment I got it.
Nice game!
Thank you!
The difficulty is over the roof! But had fun playing it. And the music is <3
Thanks for playing!
Love the graphics! although i am very confused on how the grapple feature works. but overall amazing! this is AAA quality stuff
Thanks for playing! If you ever see this, what was confusing about the grappling hook?
It wasnt working for me. idk if i was being an idiot but when i pressed E nothing happened
Hm, odd. Did you try clicking it or hovering your mouse over it then pressing E?
oh thats how it works
Sorry. I though by saying "E or left click" you would assume to click or at least hover over the grapple area in order to grapple but alas it seems I was wrong.
