Nice character artwork especially the main character! The grappling felt a bit weird at some points, but its understandable in this state. Also felt tricky to know if your hits were damaging the enemies too. You could also walk right out of the level before defeating the boss, a gate only unlocked by defeating the boss might help with this.

Ok. So this game feels very undercooked. The grappling is awkward, the movement feels jank, a lot of the impact feels lacking, the music doesn't show up until at a certain point, the enemy's attack patterns isn't bad but its too one note. The fun factor isn't exactly there for me, there's little hook for me to latch onto with this game.
Design wise, I guess its okay but the spritework and the character design feels very inconsistent with each other.
You might need to keep working on this. I apologize for the critical feedback, but I would be insincere if I say this is an amazing experience when it isn't for me.
Hey same as below, tried to play but got stuck in a wall a bunch of times. Def would love to play a re-upload. Let me know if you want me to point out the specific bugs (the guy below has done it already though).

Lost KatanaHey just tried it out - its still bugged (there were places where after reaching the wall, I didn't fall) and to be honest, even when it works, it doesn't feel too responsive.
With that being said, I did manage to move a bit and found it quite enjoyable to grapple around.
I didn't manage to find the oni though - I kinda went everywhere I could but still couldn't see anyone (other that the first lady).
But I do get the general sense of the game - it'll def be a fun one to play through with some fixes. I suggest you keep at it!
Idea is good but too many bugs make the game unplayable. Player character goes into the platforms and stuck there. Character models look cool. You almost got the grappling hook mechanic but sometimes it launches you up so fast. Second thing about grapplng hook is you need to be able to see where you throw it. Right now we just throw it somewhere off camera. Character falls too slow when jumped. Increase the gravity value of the rigidbody component. Also set the Canvas to scale to screensize. The main menu is too big, it doesn't almost fit the screen. Fix those things and upload again as a post jam build. You'll upload this game to the Boss Rush Jam 2024 as well right? I'm doing the same, it's a good idea . Nice job and good luck

Shadows of HonorAwesome thanks for the feedback. You're right I totally forgot to have the Canvas scale with screensize. It's a bit of an out of nowhere question, but a lot of the time when I use Grid and Tilesets for games there are issues with the player and other objects clipping into platforms I've tried a few fixes but can't get it to work in all cases, if you do have any advice there I'd super appreciate it :). Either way good luck with the Boss Rush Jam too!
Cool little game, I appreciate the amount of work that went into designing and creating so many different boss enemies. The grappling hook mechanic was great (a bit overpowered). I ended up falling into the void forever, while contemplating the deeds I have done (poor tengu).
