Great little metroidvania platformer! I think my biggest gripe would be some awkward platforming layout. There were many times I couldn't wall bounce because there was a platform above my head. It didn't feel like it added to the difficulty but just added to the clunkiness of moving around. I really do like the wall bounce idea though and when it works its very fun to use. Great job for four days.

The lasso/grapple feature is very satisfying, and mixes well with the multi-purpose dash, nice movement!

Don't Drink That!I love the sonic style dash, the bouncing and grapple felt good. Maybe some power ups that increase dash length or allow you to reset the dash mid air.

Loop MerchantThis game really captured that Metroidvania feeling for me of seeing something I couldn’t get to and reminding me of it until I found a new item. Well done for doing this in four days!

Vroom, Vroom, BROOM!Impressive game! This game perfectly combines my love of Sonic and donuts. I struggled a bit with making successful dash jumps but the game is forgiving and fun.

Out of the LoopProps to building a MetroidVania game in 4 days, that's an accomplishment to be proud of. The game is at it's best when you string together a bunch of moves, like lasso-ing and then dashing into a wall and then grabbing onto the ring you lasso'd onto. The controls are a bit awkward at times but other than that this is a good time.

Snake Eat Snakenice creation with gameplay like sonic with catching the rings

Loois the Looping Loopsteryou sure you had only four days, you build a whole metroidvania in this time, and I played the whole thing (30/35 donuts before the end screen)
reminded me a lot of the action chaining from mario odyssey to make thes insane long jumps
but that the space bar also acts as "up" on the slings is a bit jank

Chaos CoasterReally came together with the dual use of the grapple points, had some great sequences there. I did think the float was a little stiff though, just sure why but it felt a bit unresponsive going from float to dash.
Not sure if the dash was sonic inspired but it does bring up an interesting possibility of a momentum based metroidvania.

Clone's Don't Need Oxygen (GMTK JAM)the wall bounce with the dash is fun, super polished for the timeframe

Sushi RoundupAt first I wasn't really convinced, but after getting acquainted with the dash, slingshot and grapple mechanics I enjoyed this a hella a lot. Great stuff sir

Evil FlowersIt's not my type of game, but the platforming and jump from the wall feels satisfying.
Music is 10/10
