Really fun and charming!!! The grapple hook is really satisfying to use and fly around the stage with! I do wish there was some way to see the hellgates on a city wide level (a minimap or the like) but I know that's a lot of extra implemetnation. Still fun to play!
Takes a few tries to understand. Feels a bit spooky and that scream after death... oh gosh. Kind of fun tho. But sometimes it feels like the hook gets stuck and does not let you go as fast, less fun when that happens, but maybe I'm just bad at the game.

Nice! This is good fun, the grapple is nice and smooth and it's satisfying when you get a good run across the rooftops!
Background screams are really doing the mood.
Good fun, really enjoyed the grapple hook mechanic. It's a lot of fun swining round the city fire fighting. I struggled to get a good flow going with the grapple, would be nice if there was a way to control your movement a little mid flight to swing past what you're aiming at. Overall really solid game though, good fun, and great atmosphere.
It was fun grappling around, I liked when you ramped off of a building and could take a moment to choose where you went next. Got 35 at my best.

I had a really fun time playing this, it was really tense zipping around trying to close all the gates, trying to path and be as accurate as I could! Gameplay was very good. Graphics were simple but look nice, and I'm glad you managed to get a bit of audio done too.
I wish the game preserved momentum a bit more, I think it would be fun to 'ski' across the roofs after you zip to them. It also seems like the jump was not particularly useful (and often didn't seem to work when on a slanted roof).
Excellent jam entry though, I had a great time playing it!
The grapple hook is very nice to use ! Spent much more time than I thought playing your game ahah

Solid mechanics but the scream was truly something...
