Cyber Hook is a retrowave-themed first-person parkour-with-grappling-hook 3D platformer.

Another game pulled randomly from the spreadsheet of doom.

Love the aesthetic, found the game somewhat frustrating due to the default key assignments, and my lack of general coordination.

In Just Cause, the grapple is deployed with the right mouse button, and shooting with the left.

In Cyber Hook, this is inverted. I swapped them around, which helped, but the mechanic feels just different enough to be frustrating; I have to think instead of just reacting.

The shift key is assigned slow down time, instead of speeding things up (most games assign it to run).

Speedrunning is not really my thing, so Cyber Hook just feels a bit:
