Very well done game, animations are fluid just like the overall flow of the game. Sound is good too. I could not figure out how the jump physics from the walls work, sometimes I jump as normal and sometimes I get skyrocketed to the other side of the screen, but maybe it's just my ancient age. 

Good job! And try out my game if you like :)

extremely polished game, love the back story and intro sequence. A lot of cre was clearly put into it. for me I found the grappling hook mechanic kinda unintuitive, and felt it got more in the way than help me which kinda broke the flow when I had a good series of jump/

I think it's because I can't use it when ever I want only at certain  scenarios .

Also love all the secrets and multiple path ways up made me experiment different directions when one way failed repeatedly

But the game is beautiful regardless well done.

Played for about 15 minutes on a keyboard. Actually managed to get the red bandana and reach the top, but I couldn't get out of the well hahaha

Overall a very good game with great aesthetics (and I loved the soundtrack). The level also seemed pretty good for the mechanics you implemented, and I found the extra challenges AND the portal for potato players like me a huge addition to the game.

Gameplay-wise though, I felt I had a bit of trouble understanding some momentum mechanics of the game. Most of it feels intentional, but it was difficult for me to replicate things I've done previously, or even NOT going farther than I wanted because I knew I'd fall from the platform. For example: sometimes I'd bounce off a wall with ultra speed, sometimes it was normal. Ramps also had the same quirk of launching you upwards when you are running towards them, and even if that is part of the level, first time that happened I had some trouble understanding why I had jumped much farther than normal. My biggest gripe was the hookshot, though. I was never sure when it would be active or the minimum distance, so it was really difficult to use it reliably.

I'm not saying the gameplay is bad, though. A really good moment was when I activated the portal and starting grinding my way up - there was a moment in which I didn't know exactly how I was doing the stuff I did, but I did have a route going on that needed some precise timing, and I was doing everything almost by muscle memory, even if I wasn't quite sure how it worked out. This was a "in the zone" moment that was really cool (and the soundtrack in this moment definitely helped).

The problem is that I think for those kinds of platform games, doing stuff reliably (and showing the user the different states your character may be in) is REALLY important. It could be a "me" problem because I'm not a Foddian kind of player per se, but I'm comparing this game to Celeste (an unimaginably high bar!), in which you are ALWAYS sure what your input is going to make Celeste do because everything is transparent and easy to understand. I'm saying this because this looks like a game that could be polished to an actual release, so if you ever want to keep developing it, it'd be amazing to have this kind of polishing in the game.

Great game with a lot of potential, and definitely an amazing jam entry!

Great art and music, the controls felt very slippery tho, It was still very fun to play, I got the first bandana and called it quits lol, Enjoyed my time, Great game!

(Played the Web version)

It was fun to play. I liked that there were story elements and optional areas. Nice choice of music.

I had the following issues though:

• The rope didn't always activate when I felt it should have.
• The top-right optional area was empty for me.
• I didn't understand what the checkpoint thing was for quite a while. Tried to hold jump key but nothing happened. I didn't use R in my first run, and in the subsequent runs I didn't feel the need to activate it again. By pure luck I pressed R in a run where I was messing around.

Also, if you spam all 3 jump keys you can move really fast, not sure if it was intended.

Finally, I was able to achieve a time of 00:00:000 using the following strategy:

SPOILER

1. Hold left when the game starts, this will prevent you from tumbling down to the bottom. The timer is not started.
2. Carefully move down and get the rope. Although jumping isn't enabled, you can still achieve this using walljumps.
3. The rope and walljumps are all you need. Spam the 3 jump keys to get huge momentum.
4. Beat the game. Your score will be 00:00:000.

Really fun, expansive map, super immersive, awesome controls, pretty graphics, everything about this is amazing! I'm a little bad at using the rope but the controls are nice and it's really fun using all your different moves. Amazing job!

Super fun, it looks and feels super polished! Great art and music. But the jumps are sooo inconsistent. I'm probably just bad at it, but sometimes I jump very little and sometimes a lot. Especially on the sloped sections I could never get the big bounce on purpose. Also I'm not sure how momentum is involved in this but it's such a generic theme that who cares. Great entry!

That was an awesome experience tbh. I love how the mechanics and the fast pace make it so learning how intricate the controls can be dont come to you for a while, but when they do, you learn to tackle the map so differently, just like a good foddian should! Sadly i never was able to beat it lol but 10/10

I feel like this game is so close to being really good. The character is just a little too hard to control/unpredictable. I think a little more tweaking on the player controller and this will be an extremely fun game.

And fwiw, I did play for a solid ten minutes because I kept wanting to go one platform further.

So the addictive element is definitely there :)

Thanks!

great idea, great execution. just not everything is there
