Sick game! I love physics based platformers like this. I think the controls might just be a little too out of control, though. Seriously nice work here.

Great Job! really dig this, comically long arms is my favorite genre

Submitted

This really has a great presentation! Love how it feels for the most part. Didn't know I had to click at room transitions, I sat there probably longer than I should have hahaha! Still, I really enjoyed this and it was really fun! Great work!

How does this game not have more review ?
Its visual jump at me first thing when I saw a gif on twitter!
That asside, the swing feel too powerful at times. but it's fun to navigate with this arm ;)

One of my favorites so far, have to admit I didn't realize I had to click after getting ot the door and sat in slow mo for a very long time. But overall the mechanic was fun, the art was fun, and I was compelled to play all the way through!

Love a good swinging mechanic... now if only I wasn't constantly hitting spikes and falling into ultra-slo-mo ;)

Your game is really cool! It's really pleasing to look at and I love the grabbing mechanic. It's very creative and satisfying to play. :)

Controls are a bit clunky and the game is lagging quite a lot but it is still a good game which proves how good the idea and the level design is!

That's awesome. It took me a while to understand the mechanic with blocking the turrets with boxes and that the hand is actually colliding with the level and so can be stuck.

It's fun, tactile and pretty great to play. Great as usual :)

Nice concept, grappling hook is an instant like for me! I would love an option to turn off the wobble, It made me dizzy :/

Very fun gameplay, I'm a sucker for physics based stuff like this! Quite satisfying to land a perfect chain of grabs when swinging around :)

I saw this game on twitter, so I was glad to play the game. I tried with controller first but had to switch to mouse and keyboard, it was too hard to grab anything with the controller. I enjoyed the feel of the game but I think it could have done with just a bit more polish with the game experience, like having the levels reset when the player dies. 

Developer

I believe it already does that if you press the grab button when the screen changes colour...?

Submitted

Nope. I can use r to reset, but that makes it difficult to play easily with a controller. 

Developer

My bad for forgetting to add a restart button to controller bindings. But glad you seem to like it

I really like how this game can be played in different ways. You can choose to play it slow and place blocks over spikes, or you can risk jumping and grabbing a node. Really cool game design.

Super fun game, made me laugh a lot lol, I think turrets should be able to kill you to form a real threat bc right now you can pretty much ignore them, with that and some sound effects this would be an amazing game!

Very cool, i took time to understand that i could grab the boxes

Rated!

I saw the development of this game on Twitter, it's really fun! I like how you expanded on the "grabby arm" mechanic on the level where you grab boxes as improvised cover from the turrets, I think that's my favorite level. The platforming opens up near the end, but I think in the early stages it's too cramped and hard to navigate. Overall a charming game!
