Beautiful game. Love the grappling hook concept! Very fun. Nice jam!

Damn I accidentally skipped the message at the end, what did it say?

Anyway, great game! Really keeps you hooked (pun intended). I only felt a bit annoyed by the slipperiness, but everything else was good. Theme, art, narrative, music... really cool!

The cord was a bit hard to use, but I liked the challenge.

Idk how legal it was to win by doing this (was able to cast the cord down from there), but I'm glad I could, I feel like I would've never won otherwise:

Really nice presentation, I wish the hook was easier to control cos I love the setting, art and music but I can't get the hang of the controls. You totally nailed the gameboy soul though!

The hook was not easy to use properly but in my case I think due to controls on laptop. 

Very interesting mechanics and fun to play, good job!

Submitted

Very, very challenging game. I could never the hang of the hook but the concept is very solid. If i had more time invested in it, I would probably do the whole thing, but overall an amazing concept even half finished!

Submitted

Art and music was absolutely beautiful and I think you had a really unique take on the theme.  The hook was pretty difficult to use, but when you got it, it was cool to swing around like Spider-man!

Honestly, very very charming art. I really love the colour palette (it's simple but it works!). I had an issue where my dumbass kept hitting X and the cutscene kept replaying haha. Gameplay itself is quite simple but very nostalgic. Great job!

So so so cute! Love the visuals and the music. I'm terrible at the hook, but found it a very interesting mechanic and a creative idea!!

Auditorily and visually charming!!

The length of the hoock , which depends on the rings you’ve collected, is a really interesting gameplay ; it takes a bit of practice to get the hang of swinging properly, but you gradually get used to it.

Nice idea making the strung coins the grapple and the debt at the same time, and having the cord get longer as you collect more ties the two together properly. the edo street art is lovely too, the roof layering and the depth on the back rooftops. A lot of thought went into this one. Great  Job!
