With the grappling hook being so fun to use, it’s a shame that it costs time because I wanted to use it everywhere! I think that it was a bit tricky to play: I think the movement could be tightened up a bit but I’m not quite sure how. I like the concept though! Wish I had more time to explore 🙂

I love the concept behind your game, and it's super well done! In addition, your SFX is great, but VFX would really tie everything together. Crazy potential you've got for this project though. Good luck for the jam :)

I'm really glad I looked at the gifs before leaving the page I had been playing with only jumps and dashes haha I still got sub 14 seconds though!  Then I saw the images and checked the controls again and I was grappling like I was playing cyber hook.  I absolutely love this mechanic and its a great reminder for me.  Well done!  Very satisfying and it feels fair.  Good game.

Good job on submitting the game!

I had fun doing parkour and I liked that the player can accelerate! I also found that pressing Shift mid air every second or so would allow me to reach places that were far away, not sure if that's intended or not :D

Cool idea and I liked the narrative behind it. It's your first game jam so I don't want to be too harsh, but I would definitely focus on getting that core primary gameplay loop feeling super smooth. The grappling felt fun, but the movement was tricky and unforgiving, and when the level is mostly void it meant I didn't want to risk too much, so I didn't engage much with the secondary mechanics. I love these kinds of games though so I did have a blast trying to fly around the map, it definitely worked well.
Good stuff, keep it up!

Kudos for finishing your first game jam! I like the high skill ceiling. I do feel the platforming and the visual novel-esque elements could have gelled better, and the level design seemed pretty random. The mechanic of having some abilities cost time was an interesting idea. Good luck with the jam and any future game development endeavors!

Really impressive, also for a first game! Cool mechanic, I felt like Spider-Man. This would be great in VR! ♥️

pretty good mechanics! loved it.

It felt really good, but it needs a bit more polishing for the final version.

Interesting idea, and I liked that the style almost felt like Myst in a way.

I felt bad at actually playing it >_<

This is a really cool idea! A speedrun game like this would be sooo good! Great job!

There is definitely potential for a crazy speedrun game here! The momentum mechanics are super neat, but it lacks a bit of visual feedback (like FOV shifts or screen shake) to really sell the sense of speed. Expanding on those time-cost trade-offs would make this incredible!
