Oh my god, after 2 hours I finally managed to finish it. This is really a great game, the hook mechanic is very fun to mess around with, the wall jump is fun to pull off, level 2 and 3 were great fun, the art is really cute and the soundtrack is great. The player controls are a bit imprecise though, I feel like it takes a bit too long to accelerate and especially change directions (the acceleration should be higher if you're switching sides). The jump goes quite high and you rise very fast, and the gravity acceleration is also very high and there seems to be no maximum fall speed, so it's hard to control the height of your jump and land precisely. I also think having to click the hooks is very difficult when you're moving, I think it'd be better to just have a button to use the nearest hook if you're close enough instead of having to use the mouse (or maybe clicking should use the closest hook to the mouse so you can still aim at the right hook). My biggest problem was the first level though. It was by far the hardest level, and more because it felt unfair and inconsistent rather than difficult. Especially the portion with the falling tumbleweed followed by the sequence of hooks with the vulture occasionally flying over, every time I got there the vulture/tumbleweed were positioned slightly differently, and aiming at the hooks while avoiding the vulture was incredibly hard. The level design greatly improved for the next two levels though, I had a lot of fun on those! One thing I think would also make things a lot better would be having some checkpoints. I understand the difficulty is meant to be a part of it, but it also got a bit too frustrating at parts, and I think it'd be nice if the first two levels were split in half with a checkpoint in the middle, as at some point I was already used to the first half and it was just boring doing it all over again every time. Overall, I still had a lot of fun and the last two levels were really nice, and with small adjustments to the levels and player physics and a more consistent difficulty curve it'd be an even better experience. Great game! (and sorry for the wall of text hehe..)

Love everything about this, all elements are super polished. Aesthetic is great! Banger soundtrack :D

I unfortunately couldn't get past the first level but that is a skill issue ha 

Was fun playing and getting the hang of the gameplay and the pacing, game is well thought out and just the right balance of fun and rage ha, good stuff!

Very cute aesthetic, I feel like some elements felt like I couldn't tell the difference between rage mechanics or just bugs (like the walljumping and the spinning platforms), and yeah the game was too hard for me I could not pass the first level, I locked in for a moment and then fell in the void in the grappling section.

Amazing art and very cool to have cutscene for a game jam ! The soundtrack is very good too. I don't know if it is the intention but to me (not very skilled in platformers) the gameplay feels too hard (Could not finish the first level). It was still fun to tryhard but I think it leans toward the side of frustration instead of healthy difficulty.
Some feedback that I would have to fix it : 

- The obstacles are too clumped together for a first level, you have to juggle between different new threats while still understanding them and the basic mechanics.
- There should be some calm part after hard ones, landing a hard jump just to get hit by an ennemy that appeared on the right of your screen is exasperating.
- I don't think having to do precision mouse click with a sidescroller is a good idea, it is hard to track objects while the camera moves and you manage the jumps. It would have been better to have a fixed camera with levels or even having the button grab automatically the closest hook in the view.

Quick note, I think the parallax backgrounds are supposed to move with the camera not the play ;)

I don't have a mouse ):

WOW the art is so fucking good, the game is really polished and feels like a finished product. game did make me want to kill myself, tho i guess that was the intention.

Man, what a hard game 😄 I didn't even finished the first level. But arts and soundtracks are really cool !

The art style is top notch, and the backstory was a really great addition. Love these. Some coyote time would be great since platforms feel more unfair that rage-inducing. The area grab for the hook was really generous with is activation area. Neat.

the cutscene art and music are good,  not many people make cutscenes in these short jams. I like it

The grappling hook really adds an interesting gameplay element !

I liked the art style; however, I found the controls to be a bit unresponsive, and the grappling hook is a really cool mechanic. However, I think it does need some fine-tuning. 

i really loved your artstyle

Well done, I have never been good at precision platforming but works well!

I think i died over a 100 times 😭 Truly a rage game at its finest. Also the art was really amazing !

The game is GORGEOUS!! The art and animation is so so so well done here!! My only issue is with the platforming mechanics. I do agree with the comments about a coyote jump. The platforming is very difficult.

The game is really great :D  but i suggest to change the way to pull the character. It would be better if you could add collision box to the hook so you don't have to click on it by yourself but he will check if character collide with it and then pull the character up by pressing mouse. Anyway the graphics are peak!

The game art and music are amazing.

But as other have said, the platforming movement was very hard, lacking of an coyote jump make the game hard, the hooking on the parrot are very fast, could make past a few parts of the level just by the dificult in controlling the character.

The game art and music are a delight! Enjoyed the cutscenes and the background of the character! Just a problem:

  The problem is found not on the level design, but rather on the physics of the game and player movement feedback: things are 8 or 800 with no in between, making the game wayy harder, not by design, but by the lack of control.

 Regardless, i liked! It's fun to swing on the parrots and launch yourself around! The concepts are strong!
