4/5. Surprisingly good for an adult swim game. The only thing that loses this game a point is the really, really annoying robotic voice that plays when you die. Seriously. Also, controls can be vaguely frustrating, and the last level was annoying albeit doable. So overall, very good.

Level 50 took me twice as long as every other level combined. Literally. I got a "one disco ball" rank... I would have done much better if it weren't for that last freaking level.

So...after beating the game, I now have the option to play in "Hard" mode. Wait, those first 50 levels weren't hard?!

When I can't use the grapple, left and up arrow keys at the same time 43 is impossible. So for now a 2/5 till I can beat it

So the voice says nice things when you die, but gets mad at you when you succeed. funny how that works when he is saying "You're the best robot ever." and not minutes later he says "I hate you robot." lol

Whoa. After lots of caffeine, this game is so freaking epic! This is precisely the kind of spastic craziness I was looking for.

Mildly enjoying gameplay until you realize that half of the game is just releasing the grapple at the right time. Music was good, but the game isn't anything we haven't seen before.

Sound gets annoying after a while, another one of those flashes where sound options have not been considered, if even a mute button. Absolutely terrible.

I love having the 'z' key be right next to the windows key... I end up hitting the wrong key once every four levels or so, and losing the game.

Finished it! It was easy until the last 10 levels, and level 50 was intense...
Also, since now I ****ing hate the phrase "GOOD JOB ROBOT"

This is another one the amazing games by Matt, who also brought you Moneyseize and many other games. I recommend Checking out his website at mattmakesgames.com. He has tons of awesome games like "runman" (it's sonic on steroids) and "an untitled story", the biggest figgin' platformer outside of the mainstream market you will ever see. As for this game, the unique elements of the hook and and good old-school graphics (with a few cases of epilepsy thrown in here and there)results in one of my top favorites of 2010 so far.

I like that most levels present me with one hard challenge that I have to try several times before completing. I do *not* like that level 50 is a sequence of multiple such puzzles in a row. In order to even attempt the later puzzles, I have to attempt the same painful things over and over... boring and very annoying.
This was particularly surprising since the rest of the game felt like a very good balance for me.
