I really love the mechanics you went for in this game! Of course, there's some polished that could be done here but that's just due to time constraints. You made a really solid platformer and I got respect for that!

Excellent job for your first jam! The core mechanic is awesome and the simple graphics have a charm to them (I particularly liked how the eyes moved as the enemies turned). As mentioned on stream I think there are some simple things you can do to really polish it into something great:
- I think the grapple rope moved to slowly and it made the gameplay frustrating sometimes, it should definitely be sped up
- Adding an emissive/glowing effect to all the elements (except maybe the grey walls) would be a nice touch I think
- Adding some simple audio will also really bring the game to life
- Perhaps being able to sneak up on enemies who have their back turned could be a nice feature too, but may be a little complex

Those Gods Below UsI really enjoyed it! It got a little tough when I was ascending vertically past the enemies who kept shooting at me, but in an exhilarting way. I can definitely see potential here to build on, things like attacking the enemies with the grapple was good fun to do!

My end is near!!!Very cool, grappling hook based game, I really like the idea of switching floor to go and then able on top of that level designing is nice too. It was short GameJam but you managed to pulled out SpeedRunning game with mechanics based challenges and that's really cool. Love it

Hack The GuardThe core mechanics of the grappling hook is a nice idea, can really see this becoming a nice game with a bit more work.
