Capling by Xgor
This is a fun little endless climbing game. To climb you have to shoot your two grappling anchors diagonally to climb.
Tip: if you shoot both right and left anchor at the same time you will climb upwards and stabilize.

Simple. Fun. I enjoyed it. My high score is 66m. On that note, it would have been really nice to keep/show a high score.
Good work
it sounds really scary when it died
If you could, it would be nice to add more control options... as someone with only one control key and a touchpad, I had some trouble at the beginning - then I decided to use one hand keyboard other mouse (nail'd it!).
I do find it hard to keep the vertical momemtum after you used one grapple to adjust a bit. I can never get back to the momentum I had.
also I found it's pretty useful to switch from using both buttons at the same time and using them altenately. great execution on the theme.
Added more buttons for the game including S and K that should work for pretty much every keyboard. As it's also uses unity Input it can be bound in the launcher.
Also really love the positive responses to this game! Seems like this is my most sucessful LD game yet. :D
Really nice entry, very addictive. Death upon colliding walls is very confusing, it would be better if there were certain places to die (saws or spikes), not whole wall )
@jeroenwimmers alternating does goes faster if you really know what you are doing but if you do too slow it will just kill you. Using both at the same time is better for newcomers so I recommended that.
The audio could be improved.. it is comic art, not horror, you know.. ;)
Simple, yet very fun and addictive :D Add some highscores/leaderboards and you have the new addictive game of the year!
Sounds effects could use some work, but the fact that you had them at all is good though! Pretty nice polish overall with the little details like screenshake, stretching etc.
Also the level graphics style is cool. Great job!
