An experiment in grappling hook mechanics.

- Press **A** to shoot your grappling hook. The hook will shoot upward and in the direction the player is facing. **DPad left and right** change look direction, but so does direction of swing.

Future Goals:

- Make touching the ground fatal.
- Some sort of collection goal for scoring?
- Make the rope act like a real rope, with slack.
