Fun game! But damn is it hard! Those spiders are annoying, but the spikes at the end are what got me to give up. If I had more free time I might keep trying but alas, not enough time for everything I want to do. I spent an unreasonable amount of effort trying to see if I could get the spiders to drown, but it never worked, haha. Good work!

I really like this mechanic! It was a bit too hard for me but I like the concept! Also thank you for the game description, I wish more games had so useful ones!

The Sling mechanic had a great feel to it nice work. I had fun swinging thru and cursing that last spider lol. Great Work Thanks and Good Luck.

Interesting concept!

I like the sling gameplay, fun and challenging. Well done!

I wouldn't say no to some checkpoints! :p

I like the feeling of the sling, and there's room for a lot of acceleration which is cool! but I think the camera should transition more smoothly when the sling is released (currently it justs teleports, which is hard to follow). 

think about arachnophobes! 100500 spiders in the room!)))

Really smooth controls; I felt like I had good control of the character.

Movement feels great but current camera controls make lots of deaths entirely out of the players hands

nice mechanics and fit the theme well, only issue was the camera being a bit jerky, otherwise good game

Neat idea! The overflow was kinda missing in this one, since the rising water doesn't really pose much of a threat, but interesting nonetheless. Make spiders properly pathfind and not walk through walls please xD

this game is great although the camera should follow the player at all times.

Nice entry! I wished the camera who go smoothly from one position to another. The mechanic is pretty good but really hard to master so a good speedrunning material but the level is way too hard. You should have at least a small easy one to fill our hearts of gaming loosers then put us against giga speedy spiders.

I reached the room with two giant spiders. It seems that this is the good path as all the other loop together but I haven't see the exit. Was I on the good way? (I  gave up after numerous tries haha)

You are on the right track. I guess I didn't recognize how difficult it is since I made it.

camera is a little janky and the music resetting on death is not preferable. other than that its an amazing game that was really fun to play!
