Gravity Hook by crneumre

About:
Escape the spaceship and arrive back to earth!
Use your Hook to travel in space.
The game features 20 levels.

Controls:
- WAD / Arrows - Move / Jump
- Click and Hold Mouse - Shoot the hook and pull yourself towards the tile.

Notes:
- Theme: I interpreted the theme as Running out of (outer)space, as in my goal is to run back to earth.
- Chrome Browser: Please enable flash to play the game. Press the Secure button left to the URL - Site settings - Flash - Allow.
- Why flash?! The game is written in Haxe. The development was in flash because I had access to a debugger, I tried building the HTML5 version but it was way too broken for me to fix it in time so I decided to release the flash version.

Thank you for playing and hope you all like it!
Feedback is much appreciated!

Thank you for the kind words and the feedback!
Great job on this!
But still good job!
Its a lot of fun to use the grappling hook as some kind of slingshot in space.
Some of the levels was a little nitpicky, I think I would have liked more small tweaking with wasd in the air. All in all nice :)
@player-2 Thank you for the bug reporting and glad you enjoyed the game!
Music would've been a nice addition, but I can hardly complain, and it's clear where all your time went in this entry! An idea with the music is that it plays while you're in oxygenated areas, which then settles into silence as you enter space.
Aside from the music, and a few bugs here and there, it's hard to fault this entry at all! Very entertaining game to play, brilliant job for a 48-hour challenge!
@Supernapie Hmm interesting, I'll try to add some bounce or something to see how that works.
@killing-kitty Thank you very much! I think even if I had 48 hrs just to create music, I wouldn't come up with something good haha
@mikethewayne Wow thank you very much for the kind words and feedback! I really like the idea of the music stopping when you enter space, I'll most likely implement it in later versions.
Thank you all for playing and the feedback!
Controls work and feel smooth, and in general the level difficulty pacing has been fair so far, it is really satisfying to find yourself slowly improving over a level (Currently scratching my head over level 8).
A really cool concept with a more than decent amount of content for a compo game. Congrats!
Great game overall.
