Wow! Love the set up - good tutorial walkthrough to set things up and then the hook. Level design is very good - I started getting Celeste vibes.

I have to admit that I have developed it for controllers and I haven't given much thoughts about E being weird on keyboard :smile: And as a lefty, I usually have some weird keybinds ahah.

For the jump, it's a great idea, I might try to see how it feels.
