Really fun game! It has some polishing to do as i felt like the pixelation came in too fast and too strong as the game becomes unplayable at 20% data. Game was really fun though but a little more direction would be nice! Good job

Great grappling hook mechanic! Took me a minute to get used to the controls, and whenever you restart a level, your mouse unfocuses from the game, which was a little disorienting. I felt that the levels could have used a bit of polish, as they became a bit too tricky with the pixelated effect. The environments were really nice, and I love the spin on the "delivery" theme. Great work!

This game is the embodiment of jank. The hook projectile is very slow and always seem to be out of range, the player is really hard to control and there is no visual indication of hitting walls and losing data. The walls being black also doesn't help in gaugin distances. Resolution drop is not enough. The meme tutorial was kinda cute tho.

I tried really hard but damn this game was just really difficult. The grappling controls and depth perception kinda threw my off which was unfortunate, because the vibe of the game was super cool. It has a really cool synthwave atmosphere that lends itself very well to this type of game. I think it has a lot of potential, but there are just some things that don't lend itself to being very friendly to the player.
