I enjoyed this one a lot! I do think I hit a weird bug where I definitely failed a level and it let me progress, but it felt very satisfying.

Had fun with this one. Fairly good use of the grapple hook, made it fun to satisfying to zip through the levels. Did notice some minor audio stuttering when switching levels but otherwise solid.

Great work!

You cant go wrong with a grappling hook. Got to say though, the hostile spirits never really felt like a threat, because I could always zip off to safety. Probably needed some kind of limit on grappling, a cooldown, limited range, maybe the line snapping if it bends around a corner? I dunno. Still, it was fun and I did finish it, which is the important part in a game :]

I agree, I end up making my games a bit too easy when I’m doing game jams.

Thanks for the feedback!

Ooh this is slick! The gameplay felt nice and smooth and satisfying and the UI is very stylish. It was sometimes a little hard to tell if a grapple would connect with a surface off-screen or not, but overall this plays very nicely. One of my favorites so far!

Developer

Yeah, I totally agree about off-screen grappling. I can’t think of an obvious solution, maybe just shorten the grapple?

Thanks for the feedback! :)

Amazing game! The simple visuals were super nice, and the scary SFX gave it a lot of identity!

Developer

Thank you! :)
