You should set the scaling mode in project settings to "canvas items". This will stop everything from going off-screen when scaling the window.
Aside from that, I really liked the physics of the player!
A really good game but using enter to swing is a little weird because your moving your hand to the other side of the keyboard
The scale of the elements is quite off, but otherwise a very simple and cute game!
The grapple feels nice, the jump while swinging mechanic for speed it a little too difficult and might need some adjustment. I really liked the small touches with the dust particles and sound effect when changing direction on the ground. The camera seemed a little too far away sometimes.
Your grapple feels so incredibly good. You can get crazy amount of momentum and zoom through the levels. Although a bit short, the game is so fun! Maybe a bit too zoomed out as JMC said. Overall really good entry <3
Fun game! The levels are perfectly designed for zipping around like Spiderman once you get the hang of it.
What I like: The movement feels smooth and is satisfying. Art is nice.
Feedback: The game is too zoomed out; the ParallaxBackground cuts off due to that. The UI also doesn't fit to screen. Simple things like that make a game feel way less polished, and they're easy to fix/tweak.
I've managed to beat all three levels and they are pretty well paced together. Very short, but also very sweet game! Mapping hook to the enter key was a weird choice that took some time getting used to, but I managed to play the game just fine after a couple of practice rounds. Also the music makes the entire experience surprisingly relaxing. Well done!
The viewport shows things outside the intended details. Like, I can see out of bounds, probably because I have a display bigger than intended?
I believe this can be solved by using a Camera2D and making sure that your stretch mode (Project Settings > Display > Window > Stretch > Mode) is set to either "canvas_items" or "viewport". I could be wrong though.
The game itself is fine, if a little basic. I like the wind breeze sounds when you're going fast, it sells the effect.
This was awesome! Perfect interpretation of the theme in my opinion. Very satisfying when you get a good swing streak going. Also loved the small details, like the transitions between the levels, the particles when running and the parallax background. Good job!
