Game is good but way too frustrating. Also, the contrast in the bonus levels doesn't even allow you to distinguish the character from the background apart from its hair.

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.

Does anyone have a clue how to shoot up into the sky off the grapple hook like in the video? Post it in the comments and we will + so everyone can see it

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.

No words for how awesome this is... The difficulty ramp is the best I ever found on a game, making it difficult but not frustrating. The candy and the negative levels work really well as a challenge. Also the portal-ish you-are-being-tested is great, specially for this being pixelated. I just beat all the normal levels with candy, but I think I won't be beating the negative ones too soon. Just beat the -1, and that was HARD. Pity it doesn't have API, badges would be really, really nice. Some tips: to wall jump you must not be pressing the key of the direction you want to go. you can just jump and its done, no need to keep holding the arrow to keep sliding the wall. A really useful trick is for swinging: to get really good velocity from it press up when you are at the bottom of your last swing. This is told to you briefly on level 21, but you'll need this for most of the candies.

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.

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.

Tough controls, but solid game play, level design and pixel graphics. All we need is some API's for some badges... + this if you want to see badges.

To make this all easier on you. Hold the up arrow when swinging on a grapple. Hold up, let go right after and you'll gain speed and altitude. It's a simple concept that the game neglects to mention until about HAlFWAY through.... This little tip makes the game so much more enjoyable.

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 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.

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.

While the controls themselves aren't bad, I find it annoying that your game requires an immense amount of wall jumping. The reason being is that your wall jumping isn't true wall jumping. You gain very little altitude while jumping on a single wall. Yet wall jump fine when going back and forth between two walls. This is clever and all, but is extremely annoying when you find yourself in a one wall predicament. Adjust the wall jumping and this game could be a lot more smooth and enjoyable.

Awesome game, but I stopped bothering with the candy at level 22. While I can see what needs to be done in most levels, the controls are just a bit too clunky do perform most of the actions with any sort of consistency. A real shame, because when you hit things just right, like completing a bonus level, but damn do you feel slick. Anywho, #82 completed trial 30 with 16 candies.

Trial 17: 'We know you love these jungle gymansiums, #029. Are you having fun? You are doing great, your sisters are cheering for you.'
#029: 'SHUT THE *** UP, WHERE'S THE CANDY IN THIS LEVEL!?!'

Pixels are oldschool and I like them, but much more so is the "Tougher, weird-colored levels" concept. Man, I like it.
