The art may not be the best and the music is a bit droning but the game is really good! The concept is pretty well implemented and the design of the levels is really smart, and straightforward enough to not be frustrating. nice work!

So glad to see people liked the mechanic! I wish I could have explored it further and polished everything more, but time was a real issue! Thank you for playing :)

You did the ball and chain thing better than I did! Great job!

Props to you guys for the theme and execution! I just thought "ball and chain" and focused on sumbitting anything with this mechanic.
