Great idea! I wish there was onscreen help because the controls weren't always intuitive.
To be honest, while its an interesting idea, I find the controls nearly unusable and its causing me a world of hurt trying to play. Sorry.
Ah, that's a shame. I think the reason the controls ended up this way is because I used something similar to Joy2Key and played the game with a controller during development. Though if anyone has any tips on how to improve the controller scheme for the keyboard I'll be glad to hear it.
The idea is really good, though controls are not straightforward. Also, I wish I could throw the ropebox a bit farther away.
The idea is interesting but the game should be upgraded with easier controls and a tutorial phase could be useful. Keep up avoiding Unity, it'a good idea ! Hope to see the future version.
Game plays solidly! The core physics feel great if maybe a touch too loose - being able to more slowly set up jump-throws would make them more accurate. I felt like I was just flailing and hoping a couple times trying to chuck it up high.
I went right for those red circles thinking they were a goal or something and about died before I realized they were hurting me. Maybe make them more obviously 'bad', since they currently share the same color as the good things you're grabbing. (I didn't read your notes til after I played) Also audio feedback would fix this.
Would have loved a big room to just play around in and get a feel for the distances your throws go and what you can easily climb before entering the tower.
I really feel like if the box could become sticky and the controls really smoothed, it could be very fun even as some kind of action game.
Great game!
There could be a tutorial to explain controls and practice a little bit. Has potential, it could benefit a lot for more control options, a remaping for xbox controller to aim and move with different sticks could work.
Great entry nevertheless, interesting.
