It was difficult to get used to, but once I figured out how to use both of them well, I got so far away I never saw the wall again. I just closed the game evenutally. I wish the game either got more difficult somehow, or that the fire wall would catch up even if the player got exetremely far ahead.
Also, it feels weird that I can't go up or down the rope when I am touching a wall at all. I could understand if there was an object between me and the grapple point, but not in other circumstances.
