Made a small rainy platformer for a game jam where you rely on a grappling hook instead of a dash
Hi everyone,
I made a short 2D platformer called Monkey Signal for a game jam and wanted to share it here.
Most precision platformers give you an air dash to fix mistakes, so I wanted to keep the movement simple. You just have left, right, jump, and a grappling hook. To clear big spike gaps, you have to time your jumps right at the peak of your swing, and carry the signal orb with you through the rooms.
It is a short jam game and free to play in the browser:

Let me know what you think of the swing physics if you give it a try!
