Really cool game, everything feels super polished and satisfying, just a few notes on the gameplay. Namely, the hook's vertical hitbox should be just a bit taller, as there's been plenty of times where it visually hit something but then I fell down to the ground awkwardly after, and it should also spawn a bit closer to the inside of the robot. Also, it would be nice to have a visual indicator for when you can grapple (the robots light's turning on when they have it and off when they don't would be a nice touch!) Overall though, super fun platformer, feels really great, could absolutely be an awesome full game if you wanna work further on it!

thanks for the super kind words and detailed feedback!
completely agree with everything you said.
something that we thought about only later was to have a system to highlight the target that you would hook onto if you fire the hookshot at any given moment - that would completely remove all ambiguity (yes, on top of potentially also tweaking the hitboxes a bit more).
