  • I like how you connected your story with the challenges; even if you see lots of bugs in the game, it is very responsive to play. I like how the wall jump and grapple are the core mechanics rather than fighting cops. I really believe that this game could be turned into a great story-based platformer game! Now, if we come to the feedback; I would assume, you already know the main bugs and glitches in-game. Either way, I would like to mention some of the bugs: - Collectible health boxes sometimes got pushed away when you try collecting them. (not sure if I wait for a couple of secs before collecting) - Wall grab doesn't work all the time, this is a common problem, it could be because of checking multiple conditions at that time when a player tries to wall grab, make sure to limit your conditions :) - Grappling can lag sometimes and the player would be stuck on the wall. and force in grappling is a little much... These types of errors are something to worry about later, I would like to give ideas rather than tell the bugs! 1. You can improve the game by implementing more platformer obstacles. That way it would be more challenging! 2. Players love achievements! Other than health boxes, try putting small items to collect, or/and place checkpoints to give the "achieved" feeling to the player! 3. Keep levels shorter! It shouldn't be so short, but players will get exhausted to stay on the same level for too long, if it ends soon they will keep trying to pass other levels! It shouldn't be too short either, player can find it a little easy to pass. 4. Game is already so much fun, like most of the big companies do, do not add features more than it needs! I don't want to talk much like I know something lol, but overall I really had fun playing this, and I would like you to continuous improvement!
  • Loved this platformer! The gapling hook physics could be improved but, besides that great game!

That was cool. I like the grappling mechanic and the slack from the grapple. The music was good, took me a min to figure out what the heath pick up item was but other than that it was great. Had fun playing it.

Thanks for the feedback!

I really liked the art and sound design. The grappling felt a bit odd but I probably just have to learn how to use it better.

I love this. The movement feels really good and the music really compliments the gameplay. Although the wall jumping isn't so easy to control and the grapple drags you a bit too fast making it less easier to control. Other than that, I had a blast playing this. Great job!
