Kinda reminds me of the rage games out there. Simple mechanic that's tough to master and can be frustrating. Love it! Really cool game. Music was excellent!

This is an interesting and fun mechanic. It's frustrating in a way that makes me want to keep trying. I think the game could benefit from the first screen being a bit easier so I could get a taste of satisfaction and want to spend longer trying, but overall I love the controls.

Steel Drivin' ManI love games with unorthodox control schemes, as I think they end up being some of the most creative (and rewarding). This one is reminiscent of DK: King of Swing, and not just because there's an ape in it ( it's a Game Boy Advance game that uses two buttons, one for each of Donkey Kong's hands). I like how you made the things you can grab stand out from the rest of the level.

A Productive DayAfter using 4 mins to actually get into the game, I jumped to my death 7 times before quitting the game. It just feels like the mechanics of moving around needs more polish.

Watering ImperiumThank you for playing! Yes, people's reactions tend to be anywhere from "this is hard" to "I give up". :^) The movement could indeed use polish, but it is actually entirely predictable -- letting go at the far reach of a swing gains the most distance and height. Of course, expecting people to figure that out via experimentation might be cruel. (evil grin)
