Great job man. Impressive work for such short time. I found the limited controls very difficult but made it more satisfying to complete levels. Having a limited amount of fuel was a smart idea. It really makes you think and plan out what to do.
Really enjoyed the game. Though, I couldn't beat the "Sometimes you have to let it go and fly"-level :D
It's really difficult to get the feelings for the controls, but after a while I was having a blast! Great Job!
Frickin' 'ell, this game is bloody difficult. But an interesting concept, nonetheless!
@BROWNY_09: Thanks, I'm happy that you like it.
@GenusNymphicus: I wonder how you tried to solve that level. Did you use your thruster to gain momentum and than swing up or did you just grabbed the ceiling and then used the thruster to fly up? The second solution is much easier; I'm not even sure if the first one works.
@justinooncx: It's supposed to be difficult, so thanks I guess. I would be really sad if someone plays through it in 10 minutes without any problems ;)
Very difficult game. The "let it fly" level was too much for me. Great controls and a good concept.
The thruster stops working periodically for me on the web version.
Enjoyed it! Very innovative controls!
It’s a good idea for a game. Good job.
Difficult platform puzzle with neat physics, really fun to play if you don't mind restarting the level several dozen times =)
Very fun, nice cute character was very charming
Awesome platformer! I think it works really well and feels like the 2 button controls really fit. It has a great difficulty curve and some really satisfying challenges to pull off. Great job.
Well done mechanic.
The limited fuel makes it harder, and I did not noticed that there was a fuel meter at first. I thought the game had a bug :P
crazy hard game with very intelligent mechanics and design in general, i like it, good job!
Nice game !
Got stuck at first, but figured out in couple of restarts.
Nice game.
Simple, awesome execution. Controls difficult overall but I think that's why it's so fun.
Very hard but very good!Nice job!
Really difficult control scheme (using gamepad) but lots of fun, thanks!
I didn't notice the fuel meter until a few retries, thought it was a bug :)
Fairly enjoyable game, although the controls seemed needlessly complex.
Really good game! I love the constraints you place in the controls. It really forces you to think about how to beat a level. It is hard but definitely rewarding!
@Auroz: if you ever read this, can you specify what you mean by "needlessly complex"? If you, or anyone else, can give me advice on how I do it less complex with only two buttons, I would be very grateful.
Super hard.
It's pretty difficult as others have said but quite fun to play. Maybe the grappling hook should have shot at the place your mouse was pointing.
@Digitaldude555: I decided against that, because I understand "two button control" as "two buttons only" and not as "two buttons and whatever non-button input device you got".
This was a neat mechanic, nice entry!
Nice game! Controls were hard, but in a game with only two buttons, things are bound to be hard. ;) I enjoyed it though. Each level, even the "tutorial" levels feel like good accomplishments once you beat them. I also like the idea of have a fuel limit, even though it is a little bit nullified by the restart button. Good job!:)
Neat idea, but I think it would have been a lot better without the fuel limit.
Cool concept for theme. Physics indeed.
The utilization of two buttons is pretty cool, and the hookshot feels pretty neat. Probably enough challenge without the limited thruster - this was a bi frustrating to run out of. Otherwise cool stuff!
I really liked the physics aspect of this, and it was very satisfying to make jumps etc. I found it just a little too frustrating to play for long though, I appreciate that not being able to go left was part of the mechanics, and it was interesting, but it just felt like a bit of a grind to me. This definitely deserves high marks for theme as you took the limitation and built the whole design around it, and I know there will be players out there who appreciate the challenge
Very challenging! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/S5oK4fsls3Q
