Fun mechanic! For some reason the tutorial shift and q did NOT make any impression on me until I actually got an object and finally figured them out. I was trying to press the keys in the spots where they were and nothing was happening, so XD But it was very intuitive once I got going.
Other than that small thing just it was fun, thanks for making it! ^_^

Great job. Would love an indicator that is more visible when the chain is close to it's length.

Eldritch EateriesAs soon as I loaded this game I knew that this was going to be cool, and it was! For starters this game is super polished, and the art, music, and sfx are really nice. The death mechanic with the chain indicator at the bottom is a really nice way to visualize the "joined together" part without covering too much of the screen, and overall I really liked it! Nice job! :D
Ok so to start, I had to check out this game after reading your "How does your game fit the theme?" description, because it made me audibly gasp and go "oh my GOSH".
The chain bar at the bottom was a really nice bit of UI to have there (it gets red as it gets more taut?), the game ran flawlessly and buttery-smooth and I had to think about the puzzles quite a bit.
The ending cutscene was a really nice touch too. I think I would have liked to see more done on the presentation front to make each level look more like a prison or dungeon, and I did find the soundtrack a bit hard on the ears after a bit so a volume bar would be an excellent addition, but this was a very fun game! Great work! :D

Battle for the Estranged PlanetThis game was awesome. I really enjoyed playing this and I think aesthetically it looks gorgeous. Really simple to understand and challenging to work through the levels. I love that the chain had an actual mechanic rather than just a visual thing for the theme. Really well done, I loved playing this.
This gives me 80's life in the best way. Graphics are flirting with Atari and I mean that as a compliment. Very fun. Looks/sounds great.

Chain FuryGreat Job! Took a bit to get used to playing two characters at the same time, but once I got used to it, it was a lot of fun! :D
