AUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHH!!!!!

Simple. Fun. I enjoyed it. My high score is 66m. On that note, it would have been really nice to keep/show a high score.

tensoplast01 2015-12-14 09:39

Very fun, and as it had been said, it would be so great to have a high score :)

jim3wg 2015-12-14 13:06

Funny ! and addictive

juin 2015-12-14 13:10

I think it would've been great if you could actually control where your hooks are going. That would add more depth to it than just pressing left or right at the correct times.

rosden-shadow 2015-12-14 13:17

the sound when you die and way you die make the game

icereci 2015-12-14 13:32

I felt your pain every time I died :) I thought my game was hard, damn..

jcwelgemoed 2015-12-14 14:24

Damn this is difficult. Fun though, keeps you wanting to try just once more. AAAUUUUHHHH!
Good work

djdudes100 2015-12-14 14:24

Really addictive

joekinglake 2015-12-14 20:32

SUPER difficult, but I really enjoyed it! Great work :)

ghen 2015-12-14 20:39

this is very difficult, somehow remind me of one of the battle toads level lol
it sounds really scary when it died

darkgrisen 2015-12-14 20:50

My prediction says that this game is going to win LD 34!

darkgrisen 2015-12-14 20:51

I climbed 309m btw :)

mrjorts 2015-12-14 21:38

This is fun. I think it would be nice to see a health bar or something, since you can hit the wall sometimes and be fine, but immediately die other times.

kaynank 2015-12-14 23:49

I'm not sure if the death sound was supposed to be funny or infuriating, but it was kind of both. Had me cracking up.

deviousdeviation 2015-12-15 00:36

That death sound... it's fabulous.

ariake81 2015-12-15 00:39

brilliant, best so far. the controls are perfect!

soka 2015-12-15 00:52

Simple and fun, I loved it but he died too easily :P

drunkain 2015-12-15 00:54

Can't manage to rate other games cause i'm stuck on yours forever until I die.

leaghorn 2015-12-15 12:53

fun and addictive

elit3dgaming 2015-12-15 13:44

Very fun and challenging, has play-ability which I like

wasdmagician 2015-12-15 13:49

67 oh yes

skullpixel 2015-12-15 14:40

Wow. This is FUN. Nice idea an implementation too.

didi 2015-12-15 15:13

Hahaha this is fun and chalanging! Well Done!

2015-12-15 15:27

Hey, nice work! Gameplay is fluid and interesting (and hard), congratz!
If you could, it would be nice to add more control options... as someone with only one control key and a touchpad, I had some trouble at the beginning - then I decided to use one hand keyboard other mouse (nail'd it!).

taffaz 2015-12-15 19:06

Great game, enjoyed playing. Only got up to 30m in the 10+ attempts I had.

zkenshin 2015-12-16 01:25

It was quite challenging, but still enjoyable. A solid entry, nice job!

fabulis 2015-12-16 13:56

Very cool, good job

imyellowfish 2015-12-16 14:16

I got 64!!! haha! Nice mechanics, and I could find many ways of playing it!

ajmalr 2015-12-16 16:12

90m! Fun game!

jeroenwimmers 2015-12-16 16:57

pretty fun! and the dying had me everytime lol. it's simple it feels good.

I do find it hard to keep the vertical momemtum after you used one grapple to adjust a bit. I can never get back to the momentum I had.

also I found it's pretty useful to switch from using both buttons at the same time and using them altenately. great execution on the theme.

pixlexia 2015-12-17 16:06

Tough but really satisfying to master! I wish there were other controls though, as my laptop doesn't have a right Ctrl and I'm on touchpad. But other than that this game's really fun. 5/5 would AUUUUGHHH again!

xgor 2015-12-17 20:26

@Supernaught @mrStrings
Added more buttons for the game including S and K that should work for pretty much every keyboard. As it's also uses unity Input it can be bound in the launcher.

Also really love the positive responses to this game! Seems like this is my most sucessful LD game yet. :D

teamvr 2015-12-18 22:52

A fun climb.

hotboxgames 2015-12-18 22:53

This game is amazing! Love it! :D

pixelmonkey 2015-12-18 22:58

Excellent game! The controls are simple to understand, and act consistently enough for the game to not feel unfair, even when it's difficult. I'm not very good at it though, I only managed 54m!

anv 2015-12-18 23:02

Nice, it's hard to get correct rhythm. Simple, but really addictive.

gipzo 2015-12-19 22:36

Death sound is epic )
Really nice entry, very addictive. Death upon colliding walls is very confusing, it would be better if there were certain places to die (saws or spikes), not whole wall )

xgor 2015-12-19 22:52

@Gipzo I was considering doing that first but I noticed that I found it more fun that the walls became both your enemies and friends.
@jeroenwimmers alternating does goes faster if you really know what you are doing but if you do too slow it will just kill you. Using both at the same time is better for newcomers so I recommended that.

nunesbarbosa 2015-12-20 00:26

Hard game!!! Liked the concept and the theme matched perfectly. My best was like 30m.. I really sucked.

The audio could be improved.. it is comic art, not horror, you know.. ;)

xgor 2015-12-20 00:32

@nunesbarbosa I know that they don't completely add up. I was kinda planning going more serious and horrific for a while so that's why the visuals and sound kinda is going different directions against each other.

sk16games 2015-12-20 01:15

129!!!(!)!
Simple, yet very fun and addictive :D Add some highscores/leaderboards and you have the new addictive game of the year!

crafteverywhere 2015-12-20 01:59

So funny and hope to see the mobile version.

geti 2015-12-20 03:27

Fun but pretty tricky to recover once things have gone south :)

bradur 2015-12-20 04:13

Funny little game. A bit difficult at first but it grows on you.

thebrickanator 2015-12-20 06:26

Most addictive game that I have played so far :D Very cool idea!

split82 2015-12-20 12:14

Super clever idea. It would be maybe cool if springs have higher damping. Anyway great entry. Thanks!

tacospice 2015-12-20 15:34

Pretty nice, great idea, but I'd say the velocity at which you die is a little too sensitive. Maybe it's just me though..

Sounds effects could use some work, but the fact that you had them at all is good though! Pretty nice polish overall with the little details like screenshake, stretching etc.

Also the level graphics style is cool. Great job!

arcturusdeluxe 2015-12-20 16:12

Nice simple idea. Great use of physics! You get an extra point in audio from me for that death sound.

beardybard 2015-12-20 17:45

Very, very simple game. But it has original idea. Nice work!!!

_benhumphries 2015-12-21 00:48

Good job! I think it's a bit easy when using both mouse buttons at the same time. I recommend restricting it to one at a time.

dinnerinthedark 2015-12-21 18:40

SOOOOOO HAAAARD AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

trasevol_dog 2015-12-22 18:13

Well who doesn't like grappling anchors, amiright?

sinclairstrange 2016-01-02 23:39

Man that was hard! I couldn't pass 42m for some odd reason! Very clever idea, loved it! :D
