GrappleGun v0.2.0


Thank you everyone who played my game and provided feedback.  I went ahead and (hopefully) fixed all the bugs that were found.  I also made some gameplay changes and UI improvements.

Gameplay Changes

  • Removed the Reel In mechanic.
    • It was very strong and hard to balance.  It is very hard to find a good spot for this without making it a resource, which I want to stay away from.
  • Added a dash
    • holding shift for half a second and releasing it launches the player horizontally in the direction they are looking.  Allows the player more horizontal movement without the super-strong vertical movement from the reel-in.
  • Tweaked the map a bit

UI Changes

  • Crosshair now changes color depending on the surface they are looking at
    • Red = cannot grapple, Green = normal grapple surface, Blue = special grapple surface
  • Gun sway is better
  • Updated the controls menu

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed a bug where the grapple head would get stuck when shooting a non-grappleable surface that was right next to a grappleable one.
    • The grapple would latch onto the grappleable surface while returning.
  • Fixed a bug where the grapple tweaks out while returning
    • This was due to it behaving differently on lower framerates.
