Ropeman

Hello, everyone!

I'm developing a game by adding a noir spy vibe to the one i made at the game jam. For the game jam, I kept the volume low so the level design was simple. But this time, I want to turn up the volume a bit (just enough!). That's why I wanted to do a playtest on itch.io. I'm also curious how actual gamers will feel about my game. If you play it and give feedback, it would be a huge help to me. And I plan to add content like a development diary.

Game Description:

A two dimensional platformer where you throw a knife into a wall, attach your rope to it, and swing like a pendulum. With only your rope swing skill, you must keep climbing upward until you finally reach the moon.

Controls:

Move - WASD

Jump - Space

Mouse Left - shoot the rope(If a rope hits a knife, it can be hung.)

Mouse Right - Sticking a knife into the wall(only Yellow wall)

About this game:

• Throw the knife

  When you drive your knife into a wall, that point becomes your hook.

  Precise thming and angle are essential for survival.

• Attach the rope and swing

  After connecting your rope to the knife, your character swings from side to side like a real pendulum.

  With enough momentum you can rotate in a full circle and launch yourself with powerful rebound.

• Keep climbing

  Falling means the end.

  Climb higher and higher through an endless vertical world.

  Your final destination is the moon.

• Simple controls with real depth

  The controls are simple, but the potential is deep.

  Swing timing, rotation angle, and momentum control allow advanced movement as you improve.

• What awaits on the moon

  Something is waiting for you at the top
