Hi ! I downloaded the Windows archive and I found the linux version of the game in it. It looks like you made a mistake while exporting the game
Mention me here once you fixed it, and I will gladly play your game !

I also had trouble running the game on MacOS. I just get "This application cannot be opened". I'm not sure if it's something to do with my Mac specifically.
Wow, this is a really good,action packed game. I couldn't stop playing and ended up with a final time of 221.119seconds. I can only say that despite the other comments, downloading and playing the Linux version worked fine for me. You should probably consider adding a working windows build or even a webGL version because this game deserves more attention. The idea is great the character is responsive and feels nice and the amount of levels impressive for a jam game. I would like to play some more levels. ~ Ugghmaster from @WeAreDev
@yvanor Thanks for letting me know about the broken windows build, should have fixed it now!
@albionbrown I'm not sure about the MacOS Build, I haven't got anything to test it on, sorry
@ugghmaster Thanks for the suggestion, I've managed to add a web build up on itch.io
Played the web version, which worked nicely. I had some difficulty with pulling myself with the grappling hook thingy, but other than that, it is a solid game.
i love the level design of the game. and the levels after the training are perfect they are not hard not also not to easy. they game is a challange and is fun the play. the music sounds amazing.
love the physics. After the tutorial it gets really hard but it's a very fun game. Congrats!
Wow, really cool game! The controllers felt really resposnive. Liked the combination of a parkour and escort mission game.
The game wouldn't run for me for some reason. It just says "Cannot read property 'getParameter' of undefined"
Very good game! The gameplay was really cool and addictive, and it is a game you could speedrun, which makes it really fun to play! Great job!
Really fun, but I feel like you needed the tutorial to focus on each of the mechanics a little bit more, but I understand the time probably stopped that
Really fun. It gets quite difficult as the game progresses, but the mechanics are surprisingly solid, and the music is appropriately high-energy. Reminded me a lot of the N, N+, and N++ games! That made it very nostalgic for me.
Good！
@artemftw Are you using the mac build? It's broken for now (Not sure how to fix it) but the web one should work
Love the mechanics ! It become rapdidly pretty hardcore but douable. Love it :)
The HTML version worked perfect ;)
This is a really great game! The mechanics work very well and smooth. Didn't encounter any bugs. The levels are well designed. I always like it when there is a quick tutorial at the beginning.
I hope for you more people will find and score your game ;)
@the-iddmeister No I'm on windows
Interesting. The kicking mechanic is quite fun, however the jumping and grabbing can feel a bit off at times, but that's probably just me using a laptop XD. The music is pleasant and the graphics are simplistic and well made. Good job!
I loved it! Controls feel spot on to me and I love the little touches, like the camera zooming out when youa re apart, the change in music from the tutorial to the pumping one for the real levels or how generous the pull mechanic is. Its a great game, one of the best, congrats.
Hey nice entry ! Very fun mecanics ! Some times, I had the real sensation to dribble with a soccer ball ! Really nice ! I found some levels pretty hard but it was ok :) There is a little "Portal" touch in my opinion ^^ Congratulations for your game !
Ok, this is really good. The idea, the gameplay, the feedbacks, that's an excellent performance for a jam game. Nice work !
I recommend you to follow [this excellent thread from the creator of Celeste](https://twitter.com/MattThorson/status/1238338574220546049) to tweak the gamefeel features (like the coyot jump effect). The wall jump also need few pixels more to achieve perfectly.
Last things, maybe some indications in the levels design, to understand where you are in the level and which platforms you can reach. Like the following "And what now?" :smile:

@curtis-pelissier Thanks for the thread, it looks really useful! Yeah I should have added an arrow or something to show that you have to go down instead of up
@artemftw I can't seem to replicate the issue, sorry about that
@artemftw I can't seem to replicate the issue, sorry about that

I love the jumping!! It's like overpowered jump ! Nice Concept of pulling and kicking the heart ! Greato Jobu!
Fun game! I really love the kicking mechanic. But once I discovered the grabbing mechanic, I find myself using it all the time. In most scenario, it was easier to drag the heart.
Very fun and satisfying game. I think the fact that the range on the kick is so large/forgiving really helps the game be fun to play. Really enjoyed the music too. Great submission.
This game is AWESOME, I mean it. I am very impressed by the work you've done here, struggling myself on 2D controllers like this for other projects. The art is minimal but works nicely, and the music rocks. Really nice job ! The only thing I could tell is that I really don't like having a black screen + retry button on a 2D speedrun hardcore platformer. That cuts the rythm and it's not necessary. Anyway congrats!
Great game! Fun to play! Awesome simple graphics! Love the game! The tutorial in the beginning was awesome also! This is one of my favorite games in the whole game jam! Thanks @the-iddmeister for making this awesome game!
This was so great! I thought the training levels were fine, so was very impressed with the "real" levels. I love the touch of chaos involved with kicking an odd-shaped object around, really added to the fun of the game. Some checkpoints would have been nice in some of the larger later levels. Good music too.
Fun game, challenging :)
Wow, what a great game !
It's fun to play, and there are a lot of gameplay elements, which are all working well together.
Well done !
Really fun and challenging! I love that you have a timer, I'm almost tempted to grind some times now :)
Minor thing: When standing on the ground and next to a wall, you do a wall jump. You should probably do a regular jump in that case.
