I really like the use of different tools, especially the grappling hook is very nicely done.
Thank you so much for playing!
Nice game with weird controls. I like the different tools to go up. I miss some music and sounds effect. Tutorial board give good advices. The game is very easy, the water can be faster.
Thank you for playing and your feedback! Many of these will be addressed in a full version somewhere down the line.
The ideas are really nice but purely gameplay wise, I had a really hard time to get use to the controls and how the character moves. GG though!
The movement being grid based is very odd, I intended to use real physics but had to reconsider to save time. The push command was intended to alleviate some of the problems with jumping. I understand why you had a tough time though, thanks for playing!
I understand perfectly the choices one can made during a jam haha ^^ please feel free to try my entry if not already <3

This is so good! I love all the different tools. I really hope you make this into a full game because I'd love to play it. Great work!
Thank you so much for playing! I'll definitely consider releasing a full version sometime, so keep an eye out!
like the different tools you can use had fun climbing up the ropes till I got to a place where there was a roof of ice then fell off and died and the game even went you lose and closed on me lol.
Check out my live review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission
Thank you so much for your review! Looks like you missed the push command, that's why those jumps were awkward. The ending is where I had to quit and submit, which is why it ended so abruptly. I appreciate that you took the time to try my little project!
Great concept and very awesome that you created a custom engine! :)
Such a cool game
Thanks! I wish I didn't rush so much lol. I'll be sure to check yours out.
Im gonna be honest your game deserves way more recognition, also did you make all of this from scratch with python?
Thanks again haha. Yes, its written from scratch using a wrapper for OpenGL called pyglet. All of the tiles and font were also from scratch, I made them without a paint program, so its all just in the code as text. My development approach is very inefficient, but I like the challenge of writing custom engines.
Jesus Christ reinventing game development over here. Its so much effort and the game easily beats a lot of others this jam
I really appreciate that, lets just hope some other jammers see it, haha.
WHY!? I like the game btw. WHY!?!
Haha, thanks. That's a very good question. I guess I like the challenge and the ease of use? In my own engine I can customize things exactly as I want. (Plus I never got the hang of Unity or Godot, lol. My computer is weird so they run really slow.)
