!! I LOVE SWINGY GRAPPLE HOOK MECHANICS!
there was some Mickey Mouse SNES game I played as a kid that blew my mind with that stuff. and of course there's always Worms Armageddon. I haven't played either in such a long time, but you 100% brought the joy of grapple hook mechanics into my life.
I got stuck in a pit and couldn't quite figure a way out... I think I softlocked myself? if there isn't a way to reset to the most-recent checkpoint, that'd be a great add! if there is such a thing, sorry I'm a doofus and didn't find it!
(great graphics style, too!)
