The grappling hook took a bit to figure out, but the controls were cool. I also liked the jetpack guy.

@hanaindiana Glad you enjoyed!

took a bit to figure out the grappling hook .overall a nice game

Graphics simple but convey the situation well enough. No sound (booo!). Control with the mouse is pretty hard ! I'd say the game was a little too fast for me, maybe i'm too old.

Because of the grappling hook mechanic, the game felt little harder!! Good game!!

Also, play my game!!

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-05 04:11

@carkh Thank you for the feedback! I would've liked to add sound but couldn't find the time.

@random-ideation-studios Thank you! Sure, I'll play your game :)

Short and sweet! The player jumping around like a jackrabbit was unintentionally hilarious.

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-05 18:53

@congusbongus haha, thank you!

I loved bouncing around the bomb man! good entry!

zubspace 2023-05-06 19:46

Nice concept. Would love to play more levels. Good job!

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-06 20:01

Thank you @arthur-mairs and @zubspace !

I think it would help if there was a way to visualize the max range of the grappling hook. I was confused for a long time, thinking that the grappling hook wasn't working, but I think I was just too far away.

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-07 03:24

@madbarron There isn't a maximum range, although you're right, I think it would help to visualize the direction the grappling hook would go. BTW, the grappling hook comes out from the player and goes in the direction of the joystick, relative to the player. i.e. if the joystick is pointed straight up, you would grapple to a platform directly above the player.

Not too bad!

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-07 22:13

@pixelverse Thank you!

this game has some pretty unique movement. cool game :)

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-09 22:10

Thanks @ominusgalaxy44 !

The idea of tying the movement to the relative mouse position is an interesting idea, although in combination with the grappling hook a bit too cumbersome for me: I didn't feel like I had properly gotten the hang of it by the time I finished the game. Nevertheless, the bouncing around is quite fun!

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-10 02:00

@kazzymodus Thank you for the feedback! I'm afraid I don't understand, though -- relative mouse position?

kazzymodus 2023-05-10 08:02

@thefatgalaboo I mean the character moving in the direction the "joystick" is pointing rather than towards the cursor. That threw me for a loop a couple of times - in a good way!

aymco 2023-05-10 17:35

Strange how the grappling hook work but i was really enjoying this game ! Too bad it's not longer

chris-chen 2023-05-11 04:51

This was great, the controls were very unique and fun. I also had some trouble with the grappling hook, but maybe just needed more practice. Very cool little game, I would love to see more levels, well done!

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-11 04:58

@kazzymodus Oh, haha, thank you! @aymco @chris-chen Thanks! I agree, this game would benefit from some sort of indicator of how the grappling hook works. Also, you guys bumped me to >=20 ratings, so another thank you :smile:

johnnysix 2023-05-16 21:06

Cool concept. I like the way it's all controlled with the cursor, it's an unusual mechanic. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get around the platform one the enemy guy appeared on the scene though. :(

kaedalus 2023-05-17 17:46

The controls are pretty hard to control precisely and get them to do what you want, especially the grappling hook, but somehow that adds to the satisfaction when you manage to get a nice hook movement hahahaha

thefatgalaboo 2023-05-17 20:27

@johnnysix Thank you! I'm not sure exactly which level you're referring to, but I'd recommend using the grappling hook :smile: @kaedalus Haha, thanks!
