great game! deep-ish concept and i think the controls are great! the grapple is handelable once you get used to it and i think it is at a good challenge level

I like the challenge of this game. Learning new controls is crucial to being able to enjoy a wide variety of games. Its important to take time early on to practice. Like in the first 5 or 6 rooms, there are some grapples in there that you can practice all the maneuvers that are demanded in this game before they are required, so that you aren't thrown off in whatever level they tell you to press up which i thought was fairly obvious. And in trial 22(or anywhere else that uses a low jump) I particularly liked that it didn't tell us to do the opposite of trial 21 to get the candy, mostly because it would have completely obliterated any hope for human kind if it was assumed we couldn't figure out that pressing down does the opposite of pressing up. Overall good game that should lead to an interesting series, 5/5.

its probably a problem with my keyboard not the game but i cannot press up + left + space at the same time it wont recognise the up command. it works fine with all the other direction combinations plus space just not up and left. makes level 22 pretty hard.

It's great, and the controls work very well once you figure them out, but there are a few things that aren't explained that can cause some annoyances: First off, when wall jumping, you do NOT need to use the left and right arrow keys unless it's over long distances. She'll automatically be ready for the next one just by touching the next wall, so if it's a small corridor, just keep pressing the S key. Second, when on the grappling hook, up and down adjust the length of the cord. They don't put force upwards or downwards.
I have noticed though that sometimes when she falls from a good distance, there's some non-responsiveness when I push the s key to use the grappling hook. I've died several times in Trial 21 because even though I did press the S key in rage of the grappling spot, it didn't work.

I thought the difficulty level was about right. The levels are fairly easy to pass and the candies provide an additional bonus. (The negative levels are, on the other hand, downright brutal from the third on...) There is a slight feature of the walljump that can be exploited though-- with good timing, you can use it to scale walls. Handy to grab some candies.

Good Game, but need works on contrôles. Sadly putting grapple and jump on the same button may make the game look "simpler" but it make it harder to contrôle your character as you have to constantly guess if you are in grapple range or not. Especially if a grapple is near a wall jump it can become very irritating.

PLZ make the spikes a different color they are hard to see against the background and the landing when you jump isnt extremely exact

The controls need work. The swinging effect is totaly lost with the controls as they are. Other than that, not too bad.

I like how you get replaced every time you die, like in the game Queens. I also like the overall creepiness of the situation. But I was not satisfied by what seemed to be a complete lack of ending. Still, cool game, 4/5.

I would enjoy this game better if the levels were longer, but there were also checkpoints so that I wouldn't have to start all the way at the beginning if I made a mistake.

The game starts to lag for me at crucial points. When that happens, I can't jump or grapple, and so I usually fall into a spike pit or slide all the way back down to start. This game needs a quality selection and the option to turn off the extras like blood to keep it from lagging.

For grappling, let go and press S again near the circle of influence. Keep holding as you swing with left and right and then let go of S when you want to fly. You can hit S again to grab onto another grapple point.
You can use up and down to lengthen the cord, even while you're swinging, which is instrumental to the harder jumps that will send you flying pretty fast, but it's pretty challenging to manipulate the length while you're swinging. In addition, since the rope acts like a real rope, you may accidentally loosen the slack at the wrong moment and kill your momentum.

kinda boring after a while. clearly plot is ripped from portal (every dev does that at some point). requires some precise timing.
3/5 for not sucking.

Looks great. Interesting gameplay, pixelated but awesome. Concept is great. Gets a 5/5 for me. Reminds me of Portal somehow :D. Also, first :).
