I love how the troll is wearing leather spiked cuffs, so funny!  I wish the jumping was a little more consistent, it's kinda unpredictable when the ground's at an angle.  Pulling out the teeth with the grappling hook is funny, I've never seen a mechanic like that in a game before.

Now, I was planning to say that it's cool how the game is not demanding on the player, and it doesn't make you go through BS over some wrong-step-and-you-die BS, but the 2nd level reduced that feeling due to spikes + challenges that come up with dragging the big tooth. Making a player start the level from scratch is a risky move for LD, I guess most peeps won't mind but I'm not a big fan of platformers. The restart just felt kind of out of place for me, as I was enjoying the atmosphere and storyline progression more than the challenges.\n\nBut with that said really great job, the platforming feels smooth and not clunky, the grappling hook is fun, of course the graphics (even including the itch page) and the whole mood is just great.","format":"md","likes":5,"spam":"N"},{"id":913676,"author_name":"HyperOLW","author_uid":"hyperolw","epoch":1673468065,"text":"This game was really great, and fun.

The sound effects and music were spot-on, and the art\/animation are excellent. I really enjoyed being able to traverse the levels in several different ways, and even using more tricky grappling\/swinging techniques to climb faster as you become familiar with the level. The limited inventory also really meshes well with the different climbing paths, encouraging you to try different methods each time. You managed to capture some of the fun of SotC, while also expanding on some ideas and giving your game its own identity.
