How does your game fit the theme?
I'm bad at story telling but there are simple animations to show how the world ends but the lab changes.... just not much

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
most of the code, used a little of dani's movement script and grappling hook. the music and sounds are off of the asset store. sorry! this is my first game

Had fun! Might come back to keep playing later.. I got stuck on level 2.

The grappling hook is a good idea but if you jump while running, you seem to enter fly mode. Not sure if that was intentional. 

Overall, great job for your first game!

Loved the sound settings menu ;)

Would be great if you could check out our game and let us know what you think!

Thank you! no that bug was not intentional LOL. level 2 was pretty hard to beat in play testing but I had no time to make it easyer though, I'm sorry. Your game was pretty great!

Hope your game does well enough for you to continue developing games. (I made my first game for this game jam too). This is my genuine feelings about this game. The movement seemed out of control, it felt like there was no friction at all. I was very confused with the controls but I understand that there was probably no time for a tutorial. The doors were confusing as there was no boxes in a level or two, and I had to go back to past levels to barely take a box from that level. (it may have been intentional but I don't think it was.) (i may also be just dumb and not see the solution.)The audio was good but the music just stopped at some point and the game felt silent.  hope my feedback was  helpful and i hope you have a good future in game development :D.

Thanks for commenting, I'm not sure why the music stopped, maybe I did not check the loop box. in level 2/4 there are raised platforms that need you to use the grappling hook to get there and Get the boxs. I do say I'm sorry for the confusion. have a great day!

Amazing game!!! I loved the game design, the end, and the SFX/Music. I think it was a little short, you could have made more levels just with these game mechanics :)
