Here’s a level of a possible Mini Game - Grapple The Balloons.
Use the Grapple to swing aroud and collect the balloons.
The level is a little tricky but is possible.
I have ideas for a couple of different types of levels but that’ll take more time to incorporate…
Have fun ‘popping those balloons’
I liked the sound and that it would shoot out and retract if it couldn’t reach, nice touch. I found the level quite hard to play though, the grapple didn’t have much swing and seemed a bit slow sometimes. I guess I’m not much for the manic clicking style of gameplay.
Thanks for having a play Hazel and giving some feedback.
As I’ve practiced a lot I can get quite a good swing (well - sometimes!!)
and my best time so far is at just over 64 seconds to clear
I’ll see if I get any other feedback to see what things need tweaking
I haven’t even got close to clearing the level! I think my best is about 5 balloons popped! and then I fall in and die
I did consider putting lives ins but that starts complicating things a little more.
I want to have a go at a Hide&Seek mini game / level first and I’ve the final challenge for Double Room to do (doubt there’ll be a game there.)
I’m looking forward to your hide and seek! I’m adding textures with normal maps to mine, its very exciting and grimdark haha
No pressure for me then 
If I manage it and I’m not sure i will (I’ll have to like it) then it will be quite basic.
There will be balloons … not sure if the clowns will be the enemies or the player…
I look forward to your update.
There’s no rush, at least for now, none of these challenge come with time limits!
Fun idea! Try to make it more of a learning experience at the first level. One or two balloons, just to know the game basics. Say, a never-fail level (no water).
When losing opt-in for a “start again” primary button, instead of “menu”. It gets you out of the flow.
Updated now with an Easy and a Hard level with a play again button now alongside the menu one
Thanks to those who had a nose.
If you select “Easy” or “Hard” mode, there is no need to press start. Just clicking on the level modes is enough to start.
Visually you could add a grappling hook.
Great project!
I won! in 285 seconds on easy mode.
I disagree about selecting the difficulty starting the game, it was nice to flick between them and see the difference.
I am loving the music you used for this 
Nice game! I couldn’t complete it on hard though 
I like the idea behind it but I feel like the movement lacks a sense of flow. Towards the top of the map I find that you get a bit stuck on the platforms because the ceiling is too close to get a good angle for the hook.
It also kind of feels like getting your character to go where you want to go is mostly a case of trial and error.
Added some High Score Tables if you are up to the challenge…
Yay top of the board!
The platform at the very top is still a bit of a pain in the butt to move around. Because of the low clearance the character tends to get a bit stuck there and it just feels unsatisfyingly janky.
Other than that its quite fun to play through, having a scoreboard definitely helps give context to the score and for
