Hey Fish! Hope you've been doing well.
Just wanted to mention that - as of the last time I played - you can use the Grappling Plunger during the Swirly D. Cutscene, which means you can grapple your way all the way up the cave when you typically don't have control and wind up sticking yourself to Swirly D. in an amusing (but probably not intended) fashion. I'd imagine that fixing this is as simple as temporarily disabling use of your left-click items (grimoires and the grappling plunger) during cutscenes, but I don't know that for a fact.
