I really enjoyed this game. I love the way the game feels, the art style, music, the lot. You were able to capture the spirit and style of geometry dash. Well done!

Super cool project! It took a few tries to grasp what was going on. Definitely challenging and something I'd want to get better at. Well done!

It was challenging to get the controls right at first, but this was a really fun to play!

You need some try to get the controls, but at the end it was great ! 60 m is my score.

Great game! One thing you should definetly do is export to WebGL though (so that you can play it in a browser) then it will get more votes.

Very fun game! The gameplay is simple to pickup but there are some extra details that allow for improvement, like bouncing off the walls or the moving grapple points. My only critique would be the targeting of the points feels a bit harsh sometimes, as I felt it would grapple a point but didn't. I think this could be solved simply by adding some feedback to any points you're hovering over/near to show you'll grapple it when clicked. Other than that, really fun game, well done :)

Wow, what a fun game to play it was ! The gameplay is sooo cool and polished, I really could see me playing this kind of game on my phone, it feels like a finished short game : the music is great, sound effects too, the minimalistic graphics just look awesome for this type of game ( I also liked the blurry gradient background, that's a nice touch ). The main gameplay is similar to other games but different enough for you to enjoy and discover it.

The only slight issue I saw with the game was that the way you used the theme was not very original, making an "infinite" kind of game where you inevitably die. It is a great idea for sure, but when playing other games, these gameplay tropes start to feel a bit predictible.

But this issue is not really related to the quality of your game, which I said was incredible. Excellent job

This game is really fun and addicting. If it was on mobile I could see myself playing pretty often. Really reminds me of geometry dash. Agree about the take on the theme not being too original but the game itself is very fun and well polished. I could see this being on mobile app store, great submission!

Very cool! Beautiful colors, crisp clear sounds, precise gameplay loop.

The fact you can never go back to a point you'd been at before was both smart and brutal, really emphasising "go up or go die".

I'd be happier with a bigger clicker to grab onto objects, though.
