GrappleGun
A downloadable game for Windows
GrappleGun 2.0
What's New?
I have removed the RNG aspect of the grapple thus giving the player more control.
You can now walk on the ground and jump when grappled on an object
The game has a save feature so you can save and quit and comeback to the game later but be carful because if you fall to much the game will auto save.
Changed the main menu so now you can continue and mess with settings the setting were in the previous version of the game but you had to hit esc after getting past the main menu.
my friends asked me to remove them from the credits

This game was made for the Ludwig Jam using Game Maker Studio 2.
I don't have the html 5 Module so I cant upload the game in a browser.
The art was all made by me in Aseprite.
I know this game is difficult, unforgiving, and you might not always know how to get up. my advice is to get creative, think outside the box and use momentum. there is usually more then one way to get further up. I myself have made it from the bottom to the top without any debug help so it is possible to win.

The swinging and the momentum can feel nice but why is there a random element when firing the grapple? If I stand in place, aim at some point, don't move my mouse and fire the grapple the angle and target varies every other time - is this intended?
Hey man thanks for the question. When first making this game I was struggling to find a way to punish the player for missing, so I figured by adding a RNG element to the game, it would be the icing on the cake the game needed. That was the intension at least, But with hindsight I'm realizing there were better ways to make the game harder without taking control away from the player. This was my first game and your games have helped me learn a lot so thanks, I hope to continue to learn new things about game development.
