Fun little game! Super fun swinging around. Like others have mentioned, it's not completely clear how to score points and it's also hard to tell when the gravity is switching, but other than that this is a super neat game! I did encounter a bug where my grapple would get stuck on one object, bouncing off of it endlessly and I wasn't able to grapple anything else.

Great work! :)

Thanks for the all the feedback everyone, I guess I didn't saw the lack of explanation from the inside, never stopped to think about it.

I was stuck for a while trying to figure out what to do, how to earn points, etc. I thought it was a wave-survival type thing but I had -215 points that would go up and down seemingly randomly.

However, I eventually realized that you move right to gain score. Seems like a lot of people had issue with this too, so maybe just some indicator at the start to move right (just like an arrow on screen at spawn is probably enough).

After that it becomes a nice casual game like doodle jump :)

An interesting idea but I think it needs something else that the character is doing besides just staying in the central area.  Maybe if movement and grappling were slower and there was something else, like mining or shooting, to do between your grapples...?

Very fun game, but i didn't catch for what i get points.

The look and feel of the game is great, I really enjoy the endless runner genre. I think the gravity direction changing could have been made a bit clearer (as in I could not quite tell the moment it was switching)

Great game!

The swing mechanic is fun, but I cant tell why I gain or lose score and what is the goal.

Pretty cool mechanic and I like the art style.

Could be more fun as a mobile game, but it's pretty fun on desktop too
