nice game dude, I like it and the art combination, gj
Even after I got used to the grappling hook mechanic, I replayed it many times just to get all of the endings. Good stuff. If you want to make the gameplay easier but maybe more fun for some people, you can add a crosshair, clicking with which on a box causes the grappling hook line to point exactly to it. Also, there's one problem with the movement - while walking, it feels like you're walking on ice. It needs more deceleration/friction.
Pretty hard!
The initial drawing brought me in, but sadly the gameplay was way too hard for me. But!
My reaction time is usually bad. I'm like a slowpoke and tend to avoid fast-reaction games.
Despite that, I can see how other players may enjoy this type of game. Thanks for letting me play it!
This feedback was helpful, thanks! :^)
Perhaps a better balance could be made between the VN Date Sim stuff and grapple hook platforming stuff.
Most of the date sim is after the grapple level.
I don't want first time players to think it's a bait-and-switch type game.
Î also had some trouble with the grapple, but I was motivated to get better. But I'm still not good enough ;)
I like the drawing in the beginning.
In the web version, the text was not in the box, even in fullscreen mode.
That's a weird glitch, thanks for letting me know! I'm tweaking gameplay a bit to make grappling feel more fair but practice does make perfect!
I struggle with the grapple too, but when you have the " thing " it's pretty cool :p ( because you can move faster ). I really like the art and was confusing with the end !
Thanks for the feedback!
which ending did you get btw?
I try the " run away first " then I did the level and get on the sphere, get a cinematic and die ahaha :p !
You may want to try collecting the cubes until a ring icon appears in the top right corner. That's how you can unlock the other endings.
I thought about changing this design choice because it would stop some people from seeing the other half of the game (and maybe get a bad impression of it too).
Thanks for letting me know!
It was certainly tough to get the hang of the grapple, but once I got into the swing of things it was was actually pretty cool to swoop across the lava!
And of course, the ending makes it worth the trouble ;)
Glad you enjoyed the game!
I had a larger and more challenging level planned for the grapple section but I scrapped it in favor of getting the dating sim endings in first.
I'm currently working on getting the level more fleshed out.
