Clever idea! Took me a minute to figure things out; the stun mechanic is less than obvious. Still good job. :)

Cool concept! I like the different ways to gain altitude. The art is cute as well!
Some more instructions or information would be helpful. I'm not completely sure why I can't jump after a few jumps.
Nice work!

Quite unique, took me a bit to understand the "boost" and the grapple. The mouse controls were off by a bit for me. about an inch and a half. I'm not sure if it's a screen size issue or what. but it made it very hard to play.

Neat idea! I like the multiple movement options, the 'stun' mechanic was not extremely obvious, but I got it shortly after.

The game definitely could use some music, and maybe a different font, but I like the simplicity and overall feel of it. Good job!

It's a bit difficult to tell what is bigger than you and what you can actually eat. Once I figured that out, the game was pretty fun.

In the game over screen, the white "Press R To Restart" is hard to see against the light blue background.

Reminds me of old arcade I used to play as a kid. Well done overall!

This was pretty tough, but it was fun to experiment around and see how everything worked, nice job!

Quite hard to control at first but soon got used to it, turned out to be quite enjoyable!
As others have said some more instructions/tutorial would have been nice.

I love grappling games. :) However, sometimes the big flies would be so arranged that it was impossible to pass. Nevertheless, well done.

Please change the download title from "Web" to "Windows" as Web means that it's playable directly in a browser.

Graphics were decent and it was cool that you pulled off both themes, but the gameplay just wasn't that interesting. More things to do and maybe some music would've helped a lot, but just trying to avoid large flies didn't really do it for me.

Challenging game! I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/PXolvG1P7M4
