DeltaSwing by DeltaNegative

made by DeltaNegative for LD34 (JAM)

A simple game that lets you swing between enormous, GROWING mushrooms using the TWO BUTTONS on your mouse. Oh, and kill bugs. What more to ask of life?
By the way, this is the first LD for everyone on the team ;)

No sound, or just me? Otherwise, interesting concept...

That was quite an interesting game. I however, didn't see the need for the grapple. Perhaps, I'm being silly but just pointing and shooting worked fine for me. However, the audio and graphics were nice.

Amazing! The music is so good. It's just got a cool vibe to it, though I wish the enemies didn't instantly kill you.

Wow that looked good. Music was great. I somehow managed to launch myself through a mushroom all the way up, just to find more mushrooms up there. And wasps. I shot them.

Maybe nice concept, but the gameplay was a little bit too simple i think. But i like audio and graphics style!

"What the fuck is going on: the game"

I really liked it. Nice (ab)use of particles and graphical effects. Felt that it was a bit too easy. And there wasn't a lot of swinging with the way your grappling hook worked.

Great presentation. Also, any game about killing bees is the best.

The swinging physics are fun, if a little unnecessary. The music was cool, but I found it a little unfitting. (Not sure what WOULD fit for this game, really.)

Its really fun but I would appreciate something in the center of the screen so I can see where I'm shooting, I like the graphics I don't know why its beautifly blocky, good execution of the theme too :)

Hey! I've tried the linux x86_64 version, but the screen is mostly black most of the time.

It was quite fun grappling around the cave. Could use some more feedback when you shoot the enemies as that would make the action of fighting them feel so much better.

Fun controls! Would like to see something more done with this!
Awesome!

really like the mood, died to a spider before figuring out where they even were, and then glitched into a mushroom thing hah, but it was fun and interesting

Thanks for your game!
I played your game along with several others from this jam and 'reviewed' them here: https://n8r8.wordpress.com/2015/12/22/n8-r8s-8-ludum-dare-34-part-1/

Random Info: You can actually win the game by collecting a shiny thing on top of a mushroom!
Really cool game, nice design and great music!
(Managed to grapple myself out of the map a few times though and had to restart xd)
