Spiderman decides to become a miner. I liked it. I like digging like in Terraria. Too bad you can't dig left and right. Funny game

I had a ton of fun zipping around with the grapple hook and jetpack, but it was kinda unclear to me how I was supposed to judge when to head back up or not. I guess the strategy is to avoid flames on the way down so you can use them on your way back up? I did manage to mine my way off the side and fall into the void. Music was okay but a little repetitive and aimless sounding, could have used some more structure but it’s nice you did your own :)

It’s a solid, cute little game though, the fact that you didn’t arbitrarily restrict the grappling hook made for some really fun moments!

Thank you for playing!

Really fun concept! I liked strategizing my mining moves to make it easier for me to leave as I'm mining further downwards. The controls were pretty solid and the jetpack felt good using mid-jump. The grapple controls took so getting use to, but I essentially spammed the grapple and almost launched myself out of the ground near the entrance haha :)

Quick feedback:

  • I'm not sure if you need to grapple item/feature as you have the jet pack to navigate vertically.
  • I didn't realize the fire on the map are items to help with restoring your jet pack. I initially thought the are 'enemies' of sorts that would deplete your oxygen, so I avoided them until I accidentally touched one.
  • I noticed the character defaults back to facing right every time they stop moving. It kind of threw me off wondering if I was pressing the wrong button.

Overall, solid game and fun concept! I wish I could explore the map a little bit more, but great work getting this done in one week!

Art is fun and it controls really well, it kinda reminded me of Dave the fiver in a silly way.
didn't really feel the need to use the grappling hook all that much, jetpack everywhere vroomvroom!

Developer

Thanks!

Not really sure what the blue bar is indicating, it keeps taking me out before I can return back up. Is it Oxygen? Other than that, art is cute and the actual gameplay feels nice.

Developer

Yea, it's Oxygen.  I should've explained it.

A really cute game
