I like the rope mechanic and the style

Cool game! I did find it quite challenging actually! I loved the looks of it :)

Cool game! 

I found your comment on youtube :)

I really like what you did. The floaty movement was awesome!

My only improvement is to make the character pop-out a bit more from the background, with colors or an outline. It was a bit tricky to see him sometimes when he respawned in the cave.

Otherwise a really good game! Well done :D

Very cool idea and unique concept. I like the artstyle and the music it fits the game really well. The lasso is really fun take on the loop theme. Overall a very nice game.

Really cool concept! The lasso was a bit tricky to aim and use but when it did work, it was fantastic!

Submitted

Neat concept! Wish the game was a bit longer tho, and there were more mechanics. The lasso  mechanic is clever, and has good potential for a fun platformer. You should work on it more after the jam!

Developer

After the jam, I intend to make it a full steam release. Thanks so much for the feedback

A super cool idea, I love the little glide you get from spinning your lasso, very fun!

Developer

Thanks so much

I really liked this game, only wish that there was a better way to aim the lasso, because right now it was a little hard to control. Fun interpretation of the theme though!

Submitted

nice game but i agree a web version would be better 5 out of 5 though

Developer

I would but due to me making a custom engine, it wasn't technically feasible in the time limit

Submitted(+1)

I do really like this game, though i suggest you should upload a web version, so that you can get more reviews

Developer

I was going to, but due to not having an engine, I have to manually add support for each platform and I had trouble with web support due to the way that I load the level for the game. I tried alternative methods, but none would work and I didn’t have enough time

It was a fun little game to play! I liked the idea of using a lasso and with some tweaking, it could create some really fun movement. One thing that I think could be improved on would be that the colour scheme of the player blended into the background of the cave and when I died (which was a lot), it wasn't immediately obvious to tell where I was. I would love it if you played my game!

Developer (1 edit)

Oops, I didn’t notice that. I think I might make this into a full release, so thanks for the feedback. Sure, I’ll play yours, when I’m able to

Developer

Played it

Interesting game, i like the concept, the lasso mechanic can be a little bit too challenging at some points of the map and the controls can sometimes be a little bit unintuitive, but besides that i like the concept! Good job

Developer

Thanks so much

Submitted

Neat concept, I think a more physics based lasso pull mechanic would make it feel a lot more fluid. Additionally, it's a bit hard to tell what parts of the environment can be lasso'd, maybe give them a slight filter or outline of some kind so they stand out from the background. I really like the art though, the game looks great!

Developer

I gave them a pulsating circle indicator, but if that isn't enough, I can make more, if I make this into a full release

Submitted

Great game! Really liked the looping mechanic.

Developer

Thanks, so much

Great idea and aesthetic! Lasso is a little frustrating to control for me but nice touch on the accessibility options and great submission.

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback. This is my first proper game (and second game jam) and I really appreciate it.
