How does your game fit the theme?
The game is based around going down a mysterious pit, in a sense, diving deeper inside the earth.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The graphical assets are made from scratch by me and my team, but some are not, like the sound effects.

This was a WHOLE lot of fun to play, The tutorial is well designed, and the transition between scenes was a really cool experience. You listed bugs but honestly, it was too much fun falling and grappling to notice that for me at least lol. However, it would be nice to add a map or set the pre-zoom camera a bit further so I can see where I am jumping too. Besides that amazing submission!
Thanks for playing and for the feedback! Glad you had fun with the game! :D
This was so great, I loved the art! The grapple hook really changed the feel of the game and it facilitated some pretty awesome moments! Really liked the main menu transition into the game. It is very impressive how many things you were able to implement in this while keeping it functional in such a limited time! Really well done
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed the mechanics! We tried making it as complete as possible within these 7 days, glad we seem to have succeeded! :)
The grappling hook was a fun mechanic and the graphics look amazing. Great submission!
Very cool, feels really full of features for a game jam submission. The swinging and jumping feels very fast paced and enjoyable. Great job!
game is cool I liked playing it good job!
the only problem is that I don't know where to go cuz I see nothing
but overall it a good game
Thanks for playing! The descent is mostly trial and error, also the camera helps you see farther objects by zooming out if you are falling with a high momentum.
Pretty fun game! I enjoyed the mechanics of having to swing around while getting down, the spiks were very hidden and I didn't even notice them at first. I feel like they could be more prominent, as I am constantly running into ones I hadn't seen. But overall the artwowrk was nice and it had a good feel to it, good job!
Thanks, glad you had fun with it! Yes, the obstacles are a bit unidentifiable for now, we'll work on making them less hard to see on a possible future update! :D
Amazing job man, feels great to play!
Movement is very cool but I am not skilled enough to beat the tutorial lol
I know you'll be able to master the art of grappling and overcome The Gorge, keep it up!
The game is very nice visually (especially the animations).
The gameplay is pleasant to play and quite fun.
The level design of the tutorial is really well done. On the other hand, once in the game, it's hard to see where you can go (camera too zoomed?), which can make the game a little frustrating at times.
Otherwise, very good job overall.
fun game, a bit empty without background music. But the tutorial is very appreciated!
ahh ... you know ... the character goas out of control very fast and that make me feel stupid ): but perhaps i have some skill issues ;) keep it up
It's hard, but I know you'll be able to reach the bottom of The Gorge! Don't give up! ;D
The game is in my opinion really difficult but also very fun to play aswell. You really should make a complete game out of it!
Thanks for playing! Yeah, if we can manage to, we really would like to! So stay tuned! :D
Very cool game, with great art and sound effects, The gameplay was very satisfying, and the grappling hook was extremely fun. The only thing I'd change if I were in your place was to make sure elements that can kill you were more visible, other then that amazing 8/10
Nice game! Was really fun and I enjoyed playing it
This game is stupidly fun, the momentum works so well, I know how hard it's to make good feeling movement with momentum, but you nailed it so well, it's so fun just grappling and dying feels really satisfying too, also how the camera goes farther out faster you go feels so good, but it's missing some things like music, which made the introduction and ending feel really empty, the background should have parallax so it would look better, and the art is kinda inconsistent, or the ground and stuff is consistent, but the player looks so different, so if the player was redrawn the game could look so much better, also the tutorial felt more like and a hard challenge, because there wasn't more checkpoint, and I didn't realize how the checkpoints worked until seeing them in the tutorial, because the retry text is so transparent, I didn't see it, just the start again button, also some sound effect like getting a checkpoint are missing, but overall really fun.
Thanks for your detailed review! This helps us so much to know what to focus upon for future updates! :)
Also, glad you liked it! Me and the team poured most of our attention on the gameplay, so other aspects might have been left behind for now, but I'm happy to hear people are having fun with it :D
THIS IS AMAZING, THE MOVEMENT EVERYTHING
Great game that you guys have made! The gameplay really feels satisfying to play, the movement was really well done. However, I have to say that if this were a longer game, some checkpoints would be very helpful.
Thanks :D! There should be 3-4 checkpoints throughout the level (they are the blue crystals with a skull near them) you just need to touch them to activate (if that's what you meant)
Wow, was not expecting the gameplay to feel that good! Great work on the grappling hook mechanic! Felt very good to use, and the art style is great! Great work!
Awesome game, I really enjoyed the gameplay and the graphics look great. I also like that the game is set in the jungle and not the ocean, its a more creative idea. Very cute indiana jones character too :) 5 stars
You could make the wind sounds slowly fade in by doing (speed / some amount) and clamping it to go between 0-1. I love the physics, but the game starts out really hard.
Thanks for the suggestion, and thanks for trying the game! :D
Yeah, it is kinda of a pretty hard game for now, we plan on scaling the difficoulty curve better with future updates :)
