Nice conecpt. It was bit hard for me to play at first cause I played using keyboard. Sure it is more fun to play with controller but unfortunately I don't have one. Good job with mechanic, art and map too.  I love the combination of jump, rope and dash.

Thanks for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed it. 

I’m curious, if you were to map the keyboard controls from scratch, what do you think is the optimal layout? I mostly use a gamepad so I feel lost sometimes trying to figure out what feels right on keyboard and don’t want to force players into awkward feeling controls.

Like in this case, using lasso(J) and jump (I)  and Dash (L) keys are not optimal for player as they are not habitual to play like that, you can put lasso maybe on left mouse click, dash on right mouse click, and for jump Shift or Space would be fimilliar. As most players are used to play with WASD, Space, CTRL, Shift And Mouse for FPS games or WASD and Space for platformer. And I suggest, find some popular platformer which has more mechanic otherthan only move and jump and see what key binidng they are using.

Or you can try only Arrow keys for movement and left most part of keyboard ( [CTRL, Shift, Z, X, C] or [Q,W,E,R]) and Space key for other abilities/ mechamnics for let player play only with keyboard. which i've found common in most games.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I’ll play around with that.
