The gameplay is really fun. Some models would do good and maybe if you could grapple onto enemies. Anyways a great submission!

Great submission, lots of fun already, would be excellent with more polish, bigger map, etc. I read about the WebGL issues, I would recommend always having a downloadable build as well.

This game really has a lot of potential! Bunny hopping around, constantly switching weapons for each enemy - with some better game feel, and some more enemies, this could be a really cool arena shooter!

The movement could use a little work - when you get going it feels good but I think you should strive to make both movement and shooting feel as awesome as possible when making one of these.

Awesome little game, I hope you keep going with it.

Grappling around is really smooth and a lot of fun. Honestly wish this was just a parkour map to get to the end! Nice job!

Quite fun! If there was some music, sfx, and feedback from being hit I could play this for hours!

Thanks for the feedback! Really bummed about the sound. For whatever reason building with WebGL just refused to let me import any audio files... I'll try t give your game a try and a rating soon!

Incredibly fun to just swing around and fight. Movement is great, the fact that you can grapple and tether at the same time allows for some interesting midair fights.

Audio and varied enemy models may be missing, but the game makes up for it!

Thanks for the feedback! Being able to tether while grappling's actually something I didn't realize was a "bug" lol That's cool it just made it more fun for you tho! I'll have to try playing while doing that sometime
