great game but I think instead of starting people all over again after a game over they should just start from what world they are in also they should get a full heal after clearing a world

awesome game look the grapple

I friggin' hope I can make my games' controls feel as smooth as this one's.

I love this game, the grappling hook took some time to get used to but overall a sweet game and nice mechanics! I got a time of 5:36 (easy) and hopefully able to lower it :)
