Wow, this is pretty awesome!

I've wanted to create a game involving a grappling hook for a really long time, too. This engine is really impressive, smooth, and intuitive. I was web slinging in no time. I hope you make a great game!

Whoah dude, that physics demo is really cool. I've been hoping someone would make a flash game with a similiar 'grappling' aspect ever since I played Spider-Man 2 on the original PS2. I never thought about the complexities of the pendulum physics before though.

It sort of sounds like your finished product will be something along the lines of the original Bionic Commando.

Really looking forward to see what you guys come out with man, PM me once it comes out, and I'll definitely check it out. (And most likely vote 5)

yeah, I've been playin' Worms World Party for years, but I've always had trouble with the ninja rope, I somehow always end up sitting completely still, suspended in the air with the ability to go up or down, only so that I can fall directly down either manually, or when the turn timer runs out...

Jindo 2008-01-24 02:42:59

Haha, Worms World Party ftw ;D.

That engine is incredibly accurate, good luck ;)!

Awesome engine. This reeks of spiderman.

Have you seen "You found the Grappling Hook" by messhof? Same idea but minimal and 8 bit. Pretty cool

I can somehow destroy the left wall if i let go of the grapple while on it. Look into that?

Otherwise, very good stuff, congratulate coaly, its much more accurate the jmtb02's (no offense to him), great work!

Coolio-Niato 2008-01-24 11:10:05

my bad, its just making me move to the top andlooks like im deleting the wall.

Great stuff =)

jmtb02 2008-01-24 11:26:44

Wow, you guys did a fantastic job :D. Glad to see someone taking the initiative to up the Walters engine. Pendulum physics in Flash absolutely sucks and you guys really nailed it.

oh man. i cannot wait. its been so long since my roping days of worms 2... cr8, ktl... good times. i know im not going to be the only one anxiously waiting for this lol. good luck with it XD

Luis 2008-01-24 12:21:50

Cool stuff.. This reminded me of nintendos Bionic Commando... that game was THE SHIT.

THHHHEEEEEEE SHIT.

*PS thanks for the toon. <3

This is a good example of a pendulum:

Heya. I like your engine, it works well. If you could build a full shooty platformer with a cool grappling hook it'd be amazing. I can almost see the art style now.

We loved the grappling hook sections in Worms so much, we decided to make a game that was a bit of a tribute to it. And thats how the first James the Zebra game happened.

a hundred memories of swinging from ropes in donkey king country just flew out of nostalgiaville and hit me in the FACE

NeoInanimate 2008-01-27 19:43:47

I dont like how you cant just swing from place to place, frankly.Could you make more buttons? One to shoot, and another to un grapple.

And make the rope a rope, not a stick? I bet you are gonna do that anyways, so nevermind.

Really good though!

TheCriminalDuder 2008-01-29 23:01:49

That's amazing! I totally came! :3
Seriously though, it's pretty cool. I'd love to see a grappling related game on NG.
Good luck man. I'm saving a place in my favorites for your next project. ^^
