I really like the concept. Keeping the minimalistic art style really could work for this game. The only thing is that the platforms were basically the same color as the background, at least for me.

Really fun concept, although for some reason I was having some trouble playing full screen in browser. This kinda made it hard to see far enough ahead to know where I needed to go - but you die and retry and it's quick enough it doesn't really matter.
The moving platforms were a little hard to see at times. I liked the minimalist white and red styling but maybe a little more differentiation between the platform and the background could have been helpful.
Great game! I liked the art, but I think the difficulty got a little hard a little early. But cool game!
There is simple few things that can be improved to make this game way more fun given that this is done in 1 week. In some spots I don't see the target blocks where I can shoot to and it ends up with me just guessing or trying to remember where the block was, for me to be able to move. Building momentum feels great though and the grappling rope is very responsive which feels great!
