I don't know if it is just me, but for me the player goes insanely too fast, to the point of being close to uncontrollable, or maybe I am just bad lol.Anyways the rope swinging mechanic is a very cool idea in a platformer :D
There is a bug in the game where faster machines will have faster gameplay. Just figured that out. Sorry it made the expierence frustrating for you.
Oh I see, then that's definitely the issue, unfortunate :(
