  • It takes a little bit of time to "grasp" it (literally), but when you "harness" the controls it gets really good, nice art direction, smooth controls, nice visual feedback, well made!

This reminds me of the the original versions of bionic commando and I apprecieate giving your whip a skill curve. I think it helps your game stand out. Very solid art direction and use of colours.

Can't have a game jam without a grappling hook game, controls are smooth but can be frustrating.

Love the roll and the fall animations!  Quite challenging too! I enjoyed it!

Great work, a simple but challenging game. Loved the mobile support too :)

Nice game, quite addictive once you get the hang of it (although can be frustrating if you fall down a lot after climbing high, but I guess that was the intent :) )

Great game — very challenging at first, but really addictive!

Very easy to pick up if  you've played any other games. It's only missing the glitch in corners for max speed like in  worms
