Side-Grade
A downloadable game for Windows
WASD to move, mouse to look around.
Acquire abilities by reaching the buttons. Switch abilities with keys 1-5, or cycle through with Q and E.
Right Click on Blue Objects to grapple with grapple enabled.
New Updates in Version 0.4:
- Full Controller Support! - Options for fullscreen and resolution presets! - New GUI!
Bugs Fixed in Version 0.4:
- Using Sprint right after Double Jump no longer grants abnormally high jump force. - Final Door now opens appropriately upon pressing the final button. The Door will close upon respawn; this is intentional. - Double Jump is now appropriately granted upon respawning with prior unlock. - Delayed Ability Switch Sound Effects now play immediately upon switching instead of a second later. - 'Alt + Tab'ing out of the game no longer causes a crash. - 'Alt + Tab'ing while crouched will no longer lock Norbit in his crouch animation. - Sprinting FOV now appropriately only applies while Sprint Ability is equipped. - 'Climb Only' walls can no longer be directly bypassed with Sprint.
Known Bugs:
- Changing abilities during specific ability actions (i.e. while in mid-air from a grapple) stores unintentional momentum, mostly leading to unfair deaths or infinite height.
Future Features:
- Additional voice lines - Norbit customization - Additional levels - Music track variety - Additional sound effects - Toggle between 1st and 3rd person POV - Volume sliders - Customizable controls - Save files - Better aiming with Grapple ability - Anime speed lines when using Sprint in 1st person POV

Little dude looks cool. I couldn't get grapple to do anything, and the red button things didn't seem to do anything. I was able to traverse most places with double jump but I never found where I was supposed to go. I like the overall look. I would recommend putting an on-screen GUI or at least in the menu to indicate that you should press 1-5 to try different abilities. Good job submitting a game! I've definitely pulled my share of game jam all-nighters! :)
Hi there! Due to scope-creep and bigger ambitions for this game, a lot of tutorial stuff just didn't make it in. We do plan to expand on it more after the jam's judging period ends, though. You should be able to right click on blue objects with the grapple ability active to zip to the blue objects, and the red buttons should allow you to switch to a different ability using the keys 1-5. The on-screen GUI suggestions is definitely something we will do in the near future when expanding this project. Thank you so much for your advice, and thanks for playing!
