I love the idea behind this game and think the puzzles are very good. I think a nice add would be to be able to increase your momentum by swinging back and forth. I really like whats been made so far though, great work. :)

Submitted

Really nice game, the grappling mechanic feels really well done and seriously polished especially the camera rotation part.

Submitted

Nice concept! A bit hard at the beginning, but you get used to it.

Submitted

great work.

Submitted

It was hard at first, but when I got used to it, it was really fun, loved the addition of gravity angle change!

Submitted

I got stuck right away, with no apparent way to restart (I didn't know about pressing R, maybe it should always be displayed somewhere in a corner). I feel like a first room that allows for the player to experiment with the concept without dying all the time would have been a good idea. The difficulty ramps up way too fast.

I really like the idea though, and I'm sure with some more polish it can make a really fun game!

Submitted

I found this super difficult but kept at it because the concept is cool, though hard to understand at first (I couldn't tell what was determining the gravity direction)

Submitted

Great Idea! I got a little motion sick unfortunately so could complete it :(

Submitted

Wow. Very unique idea. That's a mechanic with lots of potential. You should really polish it up a bit more and make a post jam release, because this is awesome! Two things that could be improved:

  • The difficulty is really up to 11 right from the start. This needs to be toned down a bit especially at the start of the game
  • Add sound and music, obviously :D

Good entry, and again this has potential :)

Submitted

Great mechanic with the grabbling hook and gravity changes. But it's very hard and could use some checkpoints.

Submitted

Great Idea but way to hard.

Submitted

Couldn't get very far but this is by far the coolest grappling hook mechanic I've seen in a game.

Submitted

It is a great idea!

But it was really hard to control, I kinda got stuck early on. But the game is great, very polished, although it could've used some music, and really good simplistic use of the art.

Mine kinda has a similar idea, not to the gameplay at all, but with the idea of different gravities and stuff.

Submitted

The concept is awesome, I really like the idea of a gravity switching hook mechanic. That said, it is really unwieldy to control and it feels like I'm rolling the dice trying to get the right gravity. It would also sometimes do a complete 180 which was disorienting. It was a really cool concept though and I would love to see this developed further.

Submitted

It was pretty hard to get into at first, but I must admit I really love the concept. Overall amazing entry and well done. 

Submitted

This is a so innovative concept, I love it!

Its pretty tricky sometimes to get the right gravity, maybe you can make sure the player has a falling speed limit or sometimes it turns all those momentum into angular velocity, which makes motion sickness.

It took me way longer than I thought to beat the game, but it was a fun experience, great job!

Submitted

That is Incredible.

i love the Concept and the Gameplay

good work keep it up :D

Submitted

the idea is cool, but man i get so motion sick while playing,

potentially could be serviceable as a full game if fleshed out more.

Submitted

Also, it is a little laggy in my browser

Submitted

the gravity thing is a little jarring to me. Well made game though
