I liked the game. It perfectly matched the name of the game. I had to start from the beginning when I couldn't time properly. Many of the times I would get stuck inside the walls.

got stuck :( Doesn't seem like I can skip the speech at the start of the mage too :(

Main mechanic seems fine if not a bit too fast but platforming should be improved. Moving on ground seemed to stop once I release button and that is fine but once in the air I feel charecter keeps the momentum from movment. That feels inconsistent.

Tried playing one more time got stuck again :(

I have tried several times but can not get a very high record. And I feel a little bit challenge in physics too, especially when swing. But the mechanic and design is great!

Waiting for further development and update!

Definitely feels Foddian, didn't get much further than 500m. Interesting game, good luck in the jam!

Developer

Nice ! I am glad someone was able to see that. When I was thinking of the theme, "Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy" was one of the first things that came into mind !

Yea I definitely agree that the mechanics are a bit dodgy. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked the references to GLaDOS !

Mechanical fun with some funny jokes and  I only fell all the way back down to the bottom three times. Good Job!

Developer

Glad you liked it !

Submitted

Wow, good mechanics! At first it’s unusual and then you get hooked, my record is 1150 :)

Very good little game , had a fun time while playing .

Developer

Glad you had a fun time !

Submitted

Great idea! I have a hard time with the controls but I'm sure with time and getting used to it, it gets easier, I did feel like I was getting better. I also liked the jokes. Good job!

Developer

Thanks ! I tried to go with a more dark humour like the "Portal" series !

Submitted

Sorry iI like the concept, but i found the controls to be very janky and the hook and jump are extremely fast and hard to control.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback ! I would have definitely tried to refine the controls if I had more time

Submitted

I really like the hook mechanics, and the jokes . My best time is 100 seconds, thank you for the challenge :)

Developer

Damn, nice ! I didn't even get that time yet, my fastest was like 150s. Thanks for playing !

Submitted

Feels like playing as spiderman! I was really enjoying the challenge and was trying to go fast as possible but i may have ran into a bit of a tight spot lol. Just a little stuck lmao

Developer

ahaha yes, I was going to fix that but didnt get the time xD Thanks for playing !

Submitted

I like your idea, I think that if the air controls were a bit easier it would make the game a bit more accessible, but great work anyways :)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and thanks for playing !
