I played the game a many times since you publish it. Beside the art and the game play are good, I love the sound and the music. Really nice.

Adding on @Vost remarks; you could work on the controllers or the camera size. a lot of times I can't see what I will face, I had to memorize the room.
Congrats you two.

Thanks for playing :) 


I agree. The camera could have definitely been a little better. That's something to work on in the future.

Fun game :)

Thank you :)

Congrats for your submission! It's a really cool and fun game! I like the pixel art, the jokes and the sound effects very much "GODDAMNIT"!
However, I have some remarks:

  • The physic objects (such as the lamp and telephone) can be pushed by your hook while making your lose. I don't know if it was intended but it felt weird to me!
  • Did you put a secret passage? Because I found a way to wreck the game in a few seconds (but if it is intended maybe you don't want me to reveal it). 

I'm hoping for nice pixel art gameover and ending screens in future releases!

Thank you! It was a lot of fun making it! It was also my friends first attempt at drawing pixel art. We're pretty happy with how it turned out. 

  • Allowing the physics objects to be pushed by the hook was a quirk that we decided to leave in. It makes more sense with the smaller objects but it definitely looks a little funny having the giant lamp bounce around. 
  • I didn't add in a secret passage. I think I know what you're talking about though. Maybe I should turn that bug into a feature... I didn't think of it as a secret passage before. 

Thanks for playing! Maybe I can update those menus with some art before the end of the jam.

Fun little game. I really like the graphics and the movement is good too. :)

Thanks for playing! Nailing down the grappling hook took a little work.  The art was also a long process as well. I'm glad you like it :)
