A good consistent visual style and the death effect especially looks really nice, however having to start from the beginning each time is really tedious(maybe the falg would be a checkpoint but having to go all the way back just to retry a jump to it was too much

Great use of colors and the jumping + swinging gameplay felt really solid! As others mentioned, it's pretty difficult! Lassoing with a simple button press instead of a precise mouse click would have been appreciated (for this clumsy gamer at the least! ^^;). Very polished and well done game!

I loved this, but it was way too hard for me. I really liked how the swinging felt. It was super satisfying to build momentum and fly of the ropes, especially at the first one with a large radius. Unfortunately I never made it to the first flag :( Those jumps right before the flag feel impossible hard to me.

Really well done with this submission! It feels super polished and the art fits great. I just wish the difficulty ramped up a bit slower, so that I could have experienced more of the game

Super fun mechanics! I truly suck at this though so I do wish there was checkpoints haha!

A very cool game idea. The game has a very beautiful color scheme. Very cool and beautiful levels (I would like to see more of them), which can be completed in 5-10 minutes. Overall, the game is very interesting and fun, and I would like to see the future of this game.

The core mechanic is very satisfying and responsive. Once you start flying with little pause it's great. Still hard as hell though but that's a skill issue.

Great mechanic. I'm awful at the game. Can't seem to time the momentum right to shoot off like I plan to every time haha.

Love the game and the sounds. Its Sounds so good! The colors also look amazing!

Vey good game, but i dont like the fact that you have to click exacly in the middle,

I'm so bad at this game, the rest of it looks fun but I cannot for the life of me get past the tutorial part where you build momentum. Love the vibes

The game is nice, but it would be more enjoyable if you would not have to click precisely on the anchor, if you could click anywhere on the screen when in range it would be more comfortable.

Nicely polished! Could use a bit more checkpoints.
