Nice game!

That's a nice start. If you do some polishing this could be great.

While the controls felt precise I feel that the rope should automatically drag you towards the anchor point a bit when you connect to the ceiling (only a small force boost in the beginning). This could be totally wrong but maybe it's worth a try.
Also you might want to position the player more to the bottom of the screen because most of the time you shoot your rope upwards. Right now the camera is centered on the hero but you really need to see what is above you.

@degac Thanks!

I had this in, but the swinging felt a bit bucking, so I removed it.

Good idea. Moved him a bit downwards.

needs more penguin noises, I like the death noise he makes.


Volker(Posted 2014) [#6]
Will think about it. The death noise is my voice + some audacity :-)

Added a small comic. I've read a few thousands in my younger life, but that's the first one I made myself.
Added some sounds (goal reached, a 2nd death sound)
Penguin does now flatter while in the air.
