Gameplay Instructions
Overall goal: Make your way towards the vortex.
You must progress first towards the ship.
Afterwards, you must go toward the void spheres and disable them by stepping onto a plate.

To get past the walls, you have to step on a button, which is located below the floating void spheres at the highest point.

WASD to move (Character and Ship)
Space to jump
Hold Space when in air hover jetpack
Tap Space in the air to jetpack boost
Right mouse button to toggle grappling hook aim
Left mouse button to fire grappling hook when aiming
Space to detach from the grappling hook
E to control ship (Only possible inside the ship)

L to hover and move yourself (Unstuck or platform too difficult)

Note that the grappling hook keeps your velocity when fired, but adds more speed to it.

What platform is your game built for?

flying the ship was really cool but hard to navigate at times, also love the hat 

Developer

I think the hat may be the best thing I made for this jam, quite happy with it. Thanks for trying it out!

I really like the head bob physics haha, good platforming! The jetpack strength being stronger feels great. I did get stuck in the ship door tho

Developer

Happy you like the physics of it, the door was a bit difficult to fix and got me a couple of times too, hehe. Thanks for playing it!

I like the visuals and it's a fine little platformer. Little difficult to see where you are suppose to go, but it's not a big issue. The grappling hook system need a bit more work, but the idea is good. Overall a fine jam game. Well done.

Happy you enjoyed it, yes, the grappling hook mechanic is a bit clunky looking was more difficult to do well than I had anticipated. I should also probably have made the button locations clearer. Thanks for playing it!
