Very interesting concept, nice pixel art nice usage of lights/shadows.

As others have mentioned, controls needs some polishing but otherwise it's a good start! Congrats!

Pretty art, it's a good-looking game!

Controlling that guy on the other hand is way harder than it should be, but the concept is interesting. The character might need more movement options like a small jump or something.

Overall a quite good entry, nice job!

Interesting idea for the gameplay but very difficult to actually play. Would appreciate a small jump or something for getting a little higher after reaching the end of your rope. Good job on finishing it though :)

Very original! Great idea and i would wish for the controls to be more responsive otherwise the pacing feels a bit slow. Very good job on this one!

Quería añadir un tutorial pero no tenía bastante tiempo haha. Por eso los controles están en el main menu. En todo caso gracias :)

The gameplay was good, though the ground movement needed to be more responsive. You should add a button to climb down ropes as it is hard to see where your hook is. Currently space drops you down, sometimes directly into the lava

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I wanted to implement a climbing down mechanic as well but got caught up in other things. Glad you liked the gameplay other than that :)

I like the gameplay. It is very original and clever. At first I didn't realize that there's no jump button but grappling hook.
