Really great game! I like the pivot mechanic, the graphic style and the music! Good job!

It was really fun to swing around with the pivot mechanic! I think that the game could have used a little bit more polish or content, as I found myself having trouble connecting and disconnecting from the string. Other than that the game was really fun!

I didn't bother looking at the controls in your page at first, so I was stuck at the title screen for a bit before I realized was possible, but when I figured it out I felt pretty cool! I feel like the conceit makes for a solidly fun puzzle platformer, I think just making the execution clearer would really be what sends it to the next level. I wasn't sure if there were meant to be specific pivot-point blocks that I was supposed to be pivoting off of, or if I was supposed to be pivoting off of the mouse cursor at times since sometimes I would be able to pivot off of nothing in mid-air. But, cool idea all the same!

Fun

The game didn't work for me, the mouse went all weird.

The curser is a bit weird, especially in the web build, but it was made in less than 24 hours.

[comment from other dev}

this game was made in like 9 hours... 

we probably coulda polished it up more and made it less janky.

But we didn't really do much other then adding post processing and added some lighting in the first level to make the screenshots 

No I know. I am Ash, Asher and Ashton. I was saying that for the other person, sharky boi or sumthin, idk
