Your objective is to explore this ethereal world with your trusty grappling hook attached to your mechanical arm. There are a total of 6 islands to find — one deeper than the other.

The islands can be found by following the shining grappling points floating around the world. You also have the ability to dash mid-air, which regenerates every time you land on an island.

Side note: Due to personal time constraints, we did not manage to make the game as complete as we could in this jam. But we are still are proud of what we managed to do. The result is a somewhat of a sandbox game where the objective is pure exploration with fun movement mechanics. We hope you enjoy and thank your for playing!

It looks very well! But what should i do? Where is another islands (i found just three of them). And i found some bugs with physics. This one has great potential, i think!

Exciting concept with a very hard mechanics. What's the goal, where to go, what to do?

Things got a lot better when I noticed the mouse sensitivity control on the main screen. Very satisfying to swing around, but I constantly found myself want to be able to pull myself toward the points. I couldn't really go back upward, so when I inevitably missed the islands I had no way to get back up to the to land and look around.
