Fun game to play. It would be nice if the game sped up over time and the +1 point sound wasn't so piercing
Thanks for playing! The player will actually swing faster and jump further for each point collected, but I agree that I could've added more in terms of progress :)
Also, sorry for that sound effect :/ I didn't notice it until I had published it :D Will fix it soon!
nice mechanic! I loved how it only needed one buttone to play. I also think you added a lot of nice feedback and the art in general was lovely. I think it would feel better if it was faster though, and I felt like it was hard to swing away from an anchor; the player always seemed to want to go back to the spot it had just been. If you fixed that issue, I think this could make for a really nice platformer or something.
Thanks! It does speed up as you collect point, but I agree that it could be faster :)
There also seem to be a bug where the player will connect with the previous anchor in some cases. I guess that's what you experienced :(
