Directive: Downwards by ThePelranthean
A short game about a robot descending a tower.
```
Execute descriptor:
Prime directive: descend the depths of a tower Assets: 1. Non-descript robot 2. Grappling mechanism 3. Many buttons
Begin success likelihood: Non-zero
Conclusion: Recommend user play game. ```
Author notes: * I only had time to make three levels, so this is fairly short. * Grappling... it's a thing: - The grapple mechanic can get a little silly, but I'm choosing to say that's a feature. - Aiming above grapple posts may help if you can't target them correctly. - Grapple posts will sap your velocity, if you need assistance stopping. * Sadly, sound was neglected due to time constraints.
Controls:
WASD- Movement- Mouse - Look around
- Left mouse button - Grapple (when targeting a post)
- Right mouse button - Press button (when close enough)
Esc- Pause menu

@vakarsson In the last two hours, it was a choice between two more levels or sound. I chose more levels. Sound really would have helped though. You make a good point.
@jovialknoll Group activation really wasn't executed well. There should have been some visual indication which buttons were tied together. Definitely more work that could have been done. Thanks for trying what was there though!
Two minor things I noticed. The player slows down quite radically if looking down. This caught my attention when trying to land falls. And the other thing was having to grab the mouse focus back to the game every time you either complete or restart a level.
Well done!
