Hi there, cool game!

I'm a big fan of the grapple, though I feel like gravity might be a tad too strong, sometimes making it hard to align your hookshots properly. Not sure if there was none or I just stopped playing too soon, but there didn't seem to be any powerups, which is unfortunate, I think a dash/double jump and such could've been fun in combination with a grapple.

There's not a lot of art in this, but the bits of art that it did have were totally fine! Music felt a bit unfitting perhaps, but sound effects were pretty much on point.

Game's clearly unfinished, but if you expand on the whole grapple platformer bit and just polish a bunch, it could be a really awesome experience!

This game is really hard , I gave up after three game overs without knowing if I made meaningful progress. The precision needed for some of the grapples is really high, and with the game over mechanic i ended up not wanting to have to do really difficult sections again to get back to where I was. It might be a personal preference thing, but I'm not sure having a game over screen works to your advantage. Using the grapple and jump in combination was kind of awkward to me just due to the keybinds. I kept accidentally grappling instead of jumping and vice versa. Skill issue on my part maybe :)

That said I liked the art, the character sprite was cool especially. Also the sound/music was really good. The gamefeel was generally pretty nice and I think there's a solid basis here.  I think the level design was based around some cool interactions between the grapple and jump. With a more gradual difficulty curve I could see it being super fun!

also don't be so self deprecating in your game description ;)
