I'm developing a small game in Unity just for fun and for the learning experience.
So far what I have is this prototype:
https://renge-games.itch.io/jungle-jumper



I'm looking for feedback on the movement, difficulty, fun and honestly whatever else you can think of

I would appreciate any feedback you have and suggestions about any improvements i could make.

To note:
This prototype is playable in the browser.
I know that it would be nice to adjust the position of the player on the rope like sliding down or climbing up.
A reset button is yet to be implemented.
The controls might feel a bit counter-intuitive but they are listed on the itch page.

I played this game for about 1 minute before stopping.

This game isn't very fun and I don't think I find vine swinging very entertaining. This game was also very laggy which reduced my fun because this game wasn't as responsive to my keyboard input. I felt like this game made me fail to grab the next vine, not my own skill.

I suggest adding more variety of gameplay. Instead of just vine swinging maybe there could be platforming or mountain climbing or something. Also, a more compelling reason to begin playing this game than just "vine swinging".

Just to be clear I'm selfishly providing feedback to help me improve my game design while I wait for people to provide feedback on my game.

Hi renge,

I played your game and recorded it:

Oh my, I apologize for not responding sooner. I thought I would be notified by email if I got any responses, but I guess that wasn't the case...

I appreciate this feedback. Too bad it was laggy for you, I guess that leaves some room for optimization in the future. I have updated this game since posting, in case you want to check it out again. Not much changed, but there are some improvements. I understand that vine swinging on its own isn't a very addicting experience lol. I'm gonna try adding a few more features but I would like to stick to the swinging, at least for this game.

Hi renge,

I played your game and recorded it:

Wow! Thanks for making a video. The feedback you gave was really great. I actually did end up adding a sliding feature among other things, where you can adjust your position with the up and down keys. Also, I believe in the version you are playing there is a fire that creeps up on you, but it only becomes an issue later on. And about the extra features and hooks: I am aware that this game needs more, this was more of an attempt to see how the handling is right now and what I'm getting from this is that the rope's aren't as responsive as they could be and it might still be a little difficult.
Anyway, I updated the game a little if you would like to check it out, but the updates are very minor.
I also recommend reading the controls this time  as they have gotten a little more complex.
