Thanks for playing and giving feedback! Glad you had fun even though it was hard! I think we wanted it to be hard, but at the same time not feel impossible, while also feeling really rewarding to get the hang of the vine grappling over time. Having options in the settings to scale difficulty for each player would have been really nice, such as being able to adjust gravity or vine length.
I didn't even think about the camera being locked onto the player until people pointed it out but that's a really good improvement too!
