That's kind of cool. It has a very retro feel. The animations are neat. But you can get stuck in animation loops. I got stuck in a perpetual fall several times and in what might be a damaged state when the big moving block thing crushed me.

Cool idea for the limbs! Unfortunately I didn't really see/understood the use for the grappling hook.

Developer(+1)

Lmao yea the grappling hook is definitely the most under-cooked aspect I reckon.  The idea was that you lost the grappling hooking if you lost both of your arms which would make certain sections of the game harder but obviously this couldn't happen haha. Thanks for your time tho, I really appreciate it

The controls were a bit hard at first.

I really like the moves and the concept - it's a bit sad that it's only relevant if you get hit, so you don't get to feel the theme other than as a punishment. Could be cool to, instead of starting with max body parts, you start with a few missing or can get some additional ones for extra powers.

Developer

Those are very valid points and if I pursue the game further I would definitely consider shaking up the design a lot. Thanks for playing my game man (yours is pretty good too btw)
