Really fun, I really really enjoyed using the hook after I got the hang of it not pulling you towards your target, and I loved having to optimize my movement and make a bunch of fun routing decisions as I got better and better at climbing the mountain. Main critique I have is that I would like the camera to pan way down while falling, many of my runs got ruined by not being able to tell where the boost rings were since they were so off-screen that I was forced to memorize their locations. Still very cool, hella fun game

Really great game, and shows how a jam entry really doesn't need the most complex mechanics, story, or other assets to be really good!  I got to -416m before I figured I'd seen most all of what there is.  

Since I try to leave some constructive feedback on every game I play, I do feel like the late-game neccessitating lots of hooks kind of punishes the players who find really good optimal routes with hooks as they're forced to relearn those areas in more time-consuming and uncreative routes in order to save hooks for the end.  The down-thrusters for lack of better name also had too large of an impact on the dive imo since I would often get much higher than before but miss one or two of them which felt like my accomplishments were unrewarded.  And then when I finally strung both getting to a similar height with hitting all the down-thrusters it just felt like I progressed because I happened to hit them on the way down.  Maybe I'd feel better about them also if it felt like there was more skill to hitting them on the way down.  

This idea would also be very fun to see with different/more platforming mechanics!!  My brain started imagining the same design but with the platforming mechanics of something like downwell, and there's a lot of different ways you could expand on the game simply by unlocking more platforming mechanics (likely of limited quantity) as you reach deeper and deeper.  Bravo!

This is the game jam game i played the most, not only from this jam, but ever (I think I'm at 3 hours and something).

Needless to say that i absolutely LOVED the game. I had a similar concept with my submission, not specifically, but the general idea of replaying the same platformer level over and over while gaining new abilities and power ups which allow you to take new shortcuts and faster paths. But your interpretation of this idea is just so addicting. I'm not kidding, i have to study this thing. At first i played for like half an hour and then i had to leave the house so i closed the game, but when i came back the curiosity got me, i had to know what was up there (or down there in the depths). so i started playing again. That's really rare for me. And my rational side was like "nothing is going to be up there for me, it's a jam game, and it's clearly just a score based game" but man i had to know! And eventually the platforming gets so precise and satisfying, and also you start thing about saving up harpoons, so you start thing about the route you want to take to be fast but also able to save resources for the last big jumps and... everything works together so well.

Eventually i got to (what i think is) the end (where there are a lot of jump through platforms on top of each other), i got there a couple of times but couldn't get all the boost circles while diving, so my highest lowest scor is about -200, i don't know what's the theoretical maximum-minimum,

Anyway, incredible game, so simple yet perfect, I will definitely try your other stuff. tomorrow. I played way too much of this now.

I see a path to -500m if i couldved saved one more hook, is there an ending?
