The game is really fun and addictive, but it could be improved.
The hook mechanic is fun, but I really don't like the it spins and then you click mechanic, you should have made go towards your cursor.
Also the hook could be made more juicy, like if you chance it to go towards your cursor it will probably get easier, so give it gravity, and some cool sounds and camera shake on landing and the game will feel a lot better. Also if you give it physics, when the player starts going towards the hook, the player should fall as well, and then get pulled back, so you could do really cool swings very you hook to a surface, and let go of the hook, and conserve the momentum. That would make the game a lot more fun, by removing the annoying timing thingy, but still keeping the difficulty.
Then the background, it's just bland color, you should make it like a cave or something and give it parallax, and it's gonna look so much better than just a single color.
And the coins, there's no use for them, maybe you could buy some skins or something like that with them, so you would be actually incentivised to take them.
Also you should add some death particles, because the player just disappearing is really unsatisfying.
Nice work. I really like the harpoon mechanics and it works really well. It did take a bit of practice to get used to the controls but it was fun. The artwork and style is also really nice,
I love the art, especially the aliens being all freaky and fun looking. It's also really fun and I picked up the mechanic really quickly thanks to the tutorial. Great polish overall! I'd be curious to see how this would play as a more traditional puzzle platformer with this mechanic too. I was in the mindset of try and go fast and far because infinite runner game but the harpoon mechanic kinda encourages me to take my time.
Good game and easy controls. I liked the colors of the game and the musical effects)
Fun game and interesting mechanic. Graphics look cool. Took a little time to get used to the controls. Maybe just using a mouse would have been easier.
fun games and nice art!
Voted! Good job =)
Wow this game has a great idea. And also great level design. Moving is a bit hard at first but after a while it is so awesome. Good job.
Nice graphics. For me is quite hard to get use of the input system, it is nice but I was making always mistakes to move the player.
A well-implemented innovative idea.
Fun gameplay! I find difficult to control the hook but sound and graphics are very nice! Nice work overall.
The game is quite nice! I just wish that the control can be improved, I just find the control of the grapping hook to be a bit gimmicky and clunky to use. The graphic is great, the sound effects are a bit too hard to hear compare to the music, but overall really nice and polished game, seems very fitting for mobile!
Thanks for the review, I watched you play the game on the stream and all the feedback is really useful, thanks for playing and rating the game.
Great sound and gameplay, really fun, well done.
Very nice, arcade game, it would be good for mobile. The graphics and audio are great. It fits the theme in an interesting way.
There isn't too much to improve. It's controls are quite hard to master and maybe a little unintuitive and it makes the game less fun for beginners like me which die a lot. Maybe some difficulty setting would help. I once somehow launched myself and got softlocked. I also got annoyed when I dropped into spikes that were below me but were off-screen.
The things that I don't like don't change the fact that the game is quite polished, can give people nice challenge and provide good competition for the highest score. It's skill cap can be a plus.
Thanks a lot, this feedback is really complete, thank you for playing.
I like the audio! The controls are a bit hard to manage but it's fun! Good job on this game!
Great design and fun to play! A little hard to control the harpoon shooter, but other than that it was fun.
fun game
Create a new color that a player can dash :D
Great idea, it would be fascinating, thanks for the feedback
Really fun game! I feel that the theme could use some work but good!
Fun little game, i do think it is a bit hard to get the controls but once i had them i was really enjoying the game, the art style is perfect for a hyper casual and it feels rewarding and addicting to play, nice job.
Thanks for the review, the controls is a regular theme in the game, so I think a better tutorial would help a lot, thanks for the feedback
Good game, controls feel clunky at first but its great once u get used to it!
Thanks for the feedback
