Good Concept but way too short for a puzzle game. I Would have enjoyed playing a few more levels to see what kind of puzzles you can design.

Good job for a second jam. keep going at it :)

Neat concept, well done! It took me a while to realise I could increase chain length. I actually tried to interact with fish :D

Submitted(+1)

Pretty good! I can even imagine doing it with a timer. These levels could be speedrun almost.

Definitely a great concept, would love to see this idea explored more. Someone else probably mentioned this before but I got stuck on the first level because I didn't realise I could pick something up to increase the chain because it looked like a bubble.

Good idea with lots of potential for more complicated puzzles, just needed a few more levels and variation of puzzles.

Submitted(+1)

good, a solid idea, with just those mechanics and more time it can be expanded a lot

Submitted(+1)

The physics and puzzle design are interesting and I think there's potential to expand it. It would be cool to extend the chain longer and traverse larger areas. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

Liked the idea of having to grab more links to expand the chain ! Would like to see it expanded with reasons to drop links as well! Hope you develop it further.

Love it, this game is all around great. I really wish you'd have time to make some more levels, because i really enjoyed the game, and would love to see more.

Cool idea, would have loved to see some more from this. I agree with some of the comments, movements on a grid would allow for puzzles with more precise solutions. Good ideas, keep it up.

Neat idea! It might be cool to use the anchor to block projectiles or other types of hazards. 

Submitted(+1)

This is a really great premise and you executed it super well for what's in the game. I'd love to see more levels, and maybe try snapping the character movement to a grid so it's easier to line up while pushing the anchor. 

Reminded me a bit of Baba is You in all good ways :)

I really love the game idea, it's pretty solid and fun, hope that you have more levels in mind for it

the mechanic of the game is very interesting, great use of the theme but there were very few levels xd

Very solid concept and loved the art! that's a shame that there is only 2 levels because i'd would definitely have played more :)

Submitted(+1)

Depending on puzzles, having to constantly reposition the anchor could get a bit tedious. I like the art and concept, but it's hard to tell how fun the game could be without more levels.

Submitted(+1)

It's a bit short, but it's really fun. The pixel art is amazing tho!

Submitted(+1)

Eventhough it's short but it can be a good game. I like your idea.

I loved the theme of this game, and the little effects added to give it a lot of personality (bubbles from the player, fish, etc) made this really stand out and shine! As expected from a PICO-8 game, the graphics were very bright and charming and easily readable, and the controls were tight and worked well. I am very hungry for more levels!! Hahaha, I understand that 48 hours isn't very long. But I do hope you will come back and work on this more post-jam and put it on the Lexaloffle forums!!

By the way, we played your game on our stream!
