Refund requested. How is it possible to screw up a concept this simple? Conceptually, this game is great. A simple, straightforward grappling game where you point your mouse at where you want the rope to go, then pull yourself up one ledge at a time. However, everything here is done wrong: The grapple is deliberately programmed to NOT shoot in the direction you're actually aiming, but rather off at an angle to it in order to simulate gravity, but this adds more frustration than realism or immersion, especially since gravity doesn't affect the player character in the same way: you can magically shoot straight up meters at a time. Also, the rope magically phases through ledges so that you can easily end up on the other side of the wall you hooked the grapple to, with the rope passing straight through the wall. And worst of all, the grapple can't be thrown while falling so one mistake and you're all the way back at the bottom. The music is utterly wrong for the genre. The sound effec...

The grappling hook has a very weird drop to it that feels very unnatural and slow. Right from the beginning it's hard to even get started because you can barely reach the point in which you're supposed to grab to start ascending. Overall I wouldn't recommend The game as I had a hard time even getting 5 minutes in so I could leave a review.
