Howdy!
Grippy Mouse is an arcade style game where you need to find each exit to the level. You have a grappling hook that that can pull you across gaps, hit enemies, and even hook and pull islands closer to you. But watch, you are vulnerable when throwing the grappling hook so watch your back.
I took loose inspiration this time, by keeping levels to one room and having the player pull parts of the level in, rather than moving out of the room. Hope you like it.
Made using Monogame. Note, the game requires DirectX to be installed to play. A Link to the installer is included in the download links.
Controls (Keyboard):

Arrow Keys - Move

As always, constructive criticism is encouraged. Also if you beat the game, post your score. I'm curious.
Edit 1: Found a bug that prevented the user from moving to the next level if they got a game over. It was an issue with the level complete jingle, which has a trigger to move to the next level after playing the song but the song wouldn't play. This has been fixed.
