A downloadable game for Windows

"Why are these controls so stiff and annoying?"  This is something I've thought to myself lately while playing many platformers, including some that are highly praised.  So remembering an unreleased experiment I made a while ago, I decided to throw together a demo and release it.  This prototype is by no means pretty, but it features snappy platforming controls, a few challenging bits, and of course, a grappling hook, because every game these days has one.

Please give feedback.  I have a much larger and more interesting level already built using this system, and if people seem to enjoy this then I may consider finishing and releasing it.
