After a great showcase at WreckCon last weekend, I'm excited to release my new demo here on Steam! If you played the old version, this one is totally different, focusing much more on the actual grappling hook gameplay and much less on the story. I made this version to give people more of an idea of what the main gameplay will look like, instead of just showcasing the beginning of the game and story. In fact, this new demo is not part of the actual canon story at all, it's all just or fun! It's still definitely a work in progress, and I will likely be releasing an update in the coming weeks.
Some notable new features include:
- Controller support (still a bit wonky in menus)
- 4 distinct areas
- New platforming mechanics
- New characters
- More intuitive controls
- More intuitive level designs
- A lot more gameplay
In the next update, expect these features:
- Controls remapping
- Graphical improvements
- Customizable options
- Better controller support
- Improved sound effects
- Speedrunning tools
- Quality of life improvements
- Music?!
- Lots of bug fixes
- Lots of level improvements
I'm still hard at work developing this game, and I'm growing more and more belief in this project every day. I've done a bit of speedrunning for this version of the demo, and my best time so far is 1 minute 2 seconds (measured from first input to when the screen goes completely white at the end). I know there are still a lot of time saves possible, so try and beat me before the update comes and the category closes forever!
