Okay, I finished the game! o7
The puzzle's "right" and "left" were actually the opposite of what I thought "right" and "left" would be. In my head, I had it that "upwards" would also be "forward", not "backward". @_@
I liked walking around the environments, especially with the sounds for flowing water, squawking birds, and howling winds (edit: and the footstep sounds synced to the walk animation). Also, the 2 cloud layers with sampled noise + the sky gradient looks so cool. This atmosphere's amazing. (☆ O ☆)
I think my big gripes are with the lasso being jank, and feeling like there's not much to actually do with each of the abilities. Also, the lasso-reeling animation looks pretty morbid, it's like you're hanging yourself. D:
Overall though, I liked the game! The somewhat silly anticlimax for the tall-tale was a nice finish.
p.s. You might want to change your textures' filtering/sampling to "nearest" so that they look sharper up close.
p.p.s. The game "The Big Catch: Tacklebox" might be a good reference for grappling/reeling/swinging. (it's free!)
