GOD PLEASE MAKE THIS A FULL GAME I'M BEGGING YOU

It was a really promising demo experience; I need to see this concept fleshed out more. I think it's a great concept, but I'd love to see some improvements in a full release, like more improved combat and a less floaty feeling in general.

The game was only a half hour long and this felt like a demo for something bigger, but the parkour and movement system is amazing and I would definitely play a game like this but longer.

Yeah this was a solid little experience! Slightly janky here and there, and combat was a bit meh, but movement was super fun! I sincerely hope this gets extended into a fuller game with some more polish, and story. The lore and worldbuilding introduced here was really getting me interested to see what might come next!

A neat little demo? Slice of a full game? The movement and acrobatics reminded me of a less impressive Boomerang X, but to emphasize the fun aerial movement, they penalize the on-ground movement to be so slow and unfun that it's hard to recommend definitively. That plus some truly terrible optimization means that I am so-so on this game, even at 25 minutes long.

It's actually a pretty solid game, the movement is very fluid, and the combat is actually pretty fun... however... the game is 20 minutes long, and i REALLY HOPE, there will be more of it in the future, because i got really invested, and then out of the sudden, it ended...

I dont know if this is just a demo for a larger planned game but even if its meant to be just a solo standalone thing, its quite good actually. The hook movement feels great, the combat is fun and satisfying, and the art direction is pretty decent. The biggest issue is the performance, I couldn't get it to run very well unless i turned everything down to medium, but i can forgive it since its free and plays fine on medium.

Surprisingly good, hopefully theres a full experience of this eventually but even if there isn't this stands on its own for a quick hour.
