From playtest feedback:
The timing here is tricky. But what I think frustrated both playtesters is that if you have attached your thread to needle 3, but aim incorrectly at pin 4, then the whole grapple collapses and you have to line it up again.
The second playtester suggested:
- A misfire should not retract the thread so far: if you have hooked 1, 2, 3, then you should be able to keep throwing from 3 until you hook 4 or explicitly cancel the grapple
- There should be a button on the controller (he tried, and suggested, xbox B) that retracts the thread by one step (which would cancel the whole grapple if you retract the first hook).
Neither of them remembered the lesson from three levels ago, that walking in the opposite direction cancels the throw.
