looking like it will be a great platformer, nicely done!

I love the ring concept and limitations on the ability. I do wish the grapple area was a little more forgiving (like maybe double the actual target sprite). Movement felt fluid and fun, and I like having the rings double as a combat mechanic and additional jump of sorts.

Great entry and I can't wait to see where you take this next.

Submitted

great job! loved all of it, can't wait for more!

Simple idea but has a ton of use case. I love it and want to see a full game made out of it

Submitted

Very good I guess.

This is fun, I can see that this has of a lot of cool puzzle potential.

Oh man that was cool. Really good job on coming up with the ring system, the movement felt fluid and satisfying. Grapple mechanic is smooth af as well! One wee room for improvement: i kept expecting the grapple to be a bit more forgiving in the targeting so that if you click next to the grapple points it would snap to the grapple point, but that's a very minor thing! Good job!

Developer

There's a slight aim assist, maybe I should have made it a bit more forgiving :)

I love this demo! I enjoyed the usage of the rings for not just grappling, but for fighting and double jumping! Amazing job Ian

Submitted

very nice submission :D the grappling is very smooth and the combinations of mechanics created with the rings are vert unique.

This is a great idea, and at that, executed nicely! Good job!

I love it. The way you combine fighting and moving is genius. The character is responsive and controlling it feels super fun. Overall great submission!

Submitted

So cool, I love swinging about and shooting the rings, it plays so smoothly. I hope to see more from  this.

Submitted

A potentially complex mechanic, explained incredibly clearly with a well-presented tutorial. I'd love to see this expanded, I imagine some very interesting challenges and scenarios.

This game is one of my favourites!
