I really like the swinging and the drawings !
But it felt a bit empty, rope with hang points don't match the artwork. 
Still you deserve lots of stars !!

The swinging felt fun. I wished it felt more cozy or immersive.

Made it to the top! :)

Lovely game. I enjoyed climbing the old tree the most. Ending title felt very... warm. Well done! The grappling mechanic felt really good despite playing on a trackpad.

If you're looking for feedback, I can note a few minor things: Like single use grapple points should maybe respawn after some time, and game could allow a little bit of grappling rope length adjustment to the player for when they're just barely getting stuck to the ground. Notice how these are just pretty much nitpicks... I think this was a very polished experience.

The swinging mechanics for this game feel very polished. I ended up falling more times than I'd like to admit on the last section but I managed to finally make it to the top of the old tree... likely in an unintended path.

We enjoyed it very much, but got stuck on the red anchors when we could not progress once we missed one. We loved the looks of the trees and enjoyed the bubble streams.
