Haha this is the experience I was hoping people would have! You're spot on.. there's no real danger in this world of infinite buildings.. I gave some thought to adding fire or something.. but I fought with the physics of that dang hook for so long and never got to it. I didn't even have a name for it until I added the collider for the blades and thought "man this could get pretty gnarly if you are too sloppy with the controls..." and then the name just popped out. The controls are still not quite like I want them, so it's at least validating to hear that they are tricky :.)
Thanks for playing it and thanks for the comment!
