Small nitpick with the controls - left click to grapple and right click to ungrapple is kind of awkward, and I would have preferred the much more common hold to grapple, release to ungrapple. But I otherwise found the game to be quite satisfying to play! The swing physics were very good, and I always felt like I was in full control of the ball.

Thank you for the feedback!
I've considered the controls you're suggesting during development, and I found that it left you with less control over the ball. The player has control over whether it's grappling or ungrappling, but also whether you are reeling yourself in, or dangling freely from the line, which is controlled by holding down or releasing left click.
