The Grappler (DEMO)

NOTE: This is just a demo. The main game will be available for purchase here and on Steam ideally some time in December. I'd love to here some feedback and suggestions via social media or from the game's discord in the meantime! (Bottom of description)

The Grappler is a test of patience, precision, and perseverance. Inspired by brutally challenging platformers like Jump King and Getting Over It, this 2D adventure will push you to your limits, one frustratingly rewarding grapple at a time.

Reach the top of the mountain using only your grappling hook, double jump, and dash. Sounds simple, right?

Key Features:

• Grappling Hook: Use your grappling hook to swing yourself across gaps and terrain.
• Double Jump & Dash: Combine your jumps and dashes to create fluid, skill-based movement.
• Difficult: The higher you climb, the more intense the challenge becomes. A single mistake could send you plummeting back to the bottom—so stay focused!
• Beautiful but Unforgiving Areas: Traverse different biomes, from dense forests to icy peaks, each with its own unique hazards.
• For the Brave: This game isn't for the faint-hearted, but every fall is a lesson, and every success feels like a true achievement.

Can you conquer the mountain, or will gravity get the best of you? The summit is waiting—if you can survive the journey.
