The game got me into the flow and just when I thought I was gonna win, I fell into the lava, 3 souls short of 100! But the devil was gratious and accepted the souls anyway, so now I can sleep well knowing that I saved my soul AND my LD submission.\n\nI loved it, very polished, nice art, sweet soundtrack. Only thing to improve I can think of is the (too lengthy) process of restarting after you died. Because I died quite often.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"mimusangel","author_uid":"1075752","time":"2019-04-30T12:22:16Z","epoch":1556626936,"modified":1556626936,"text":"When there is grappling there is fun, and it was a lot of fun!","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"SamuelDeboni","author_uid":"1081557","time":"2019-04-30T12:25:39Z","epoch":1556627139,"modified":1556627139,"text":"Good game, it took me some time to figure out how to play, but when I did, the game was fun.","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pepnou","author_uid":"1139818","time":"2019-04-30T12:37:34Z","epoch":1556627854,"modified":1556627854,"text":"Really fun game !

(you really should indicate that the mouse also plays a role here, crosshair maybe?) After I learned how to use the grappling hook, I hit 212 souls.

The controls could use a bit more work, unless the goal was to force the players to grapple their keyboards as a practice to get better, in that case, you succeeded :) With a little bit of post LD work, I can see this entry as a competition game for people, to see who goes fastest and who goes farther :D ","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"wie_","author_uid":"1126274","time":"2019-04-30T17:16:31Z","epoch":1556644591,"modified":1556644591,"text":"Controls are pretty bad, the game commands me to press space, but that just makes me jump into lava.

The controls should be included in the game more specifically, at the beginning I just jumped into the Lava, not knowing that I can use the Hook with both W and Space.
