Nice work, I like the theme of the prison break! I also think it would be nice to see the guy rotate when he's hanging, but he would end up a lot lower, so you might have to mess with the heights of stuff if you were to do that. Definitely a lot to work with for this idea, good job!
Nice one! Controls are a little harsh and music gets a little repetitive as you play. I would love to see the little dude rotating with the chain. Nice job! And good luck.
Thanks for playing, and for the feedback. Good luck to you as well!
You have amazing level design skills! I played the game at first and thought the concept was no that original. The levels made up for that though as they remained interesting and fun. Definitely a little frustrating when you land in the lava lol!
Thanks, really!
interesting concept, loved the different kind of interactions with the environment between the character and the ball!
it sometimes feels a bit clunky to use the ball, but overall I liked the mechanics.
Loved the minimalistic style and music, very fitting!
One small thing, I have naturally started using WASD for movements and A and D are correctly mapped for left and right, but W is not mapped for the jump, so it took me a while to understand that you were supposed to use the arrow keys instead, haha
Thanks for playing! If I make a post jam version I'll be sure to patch the controls, I noticed it in my testing but couldn't figure out what caused it in time.
This was pretty cool! I like the idea of using the ball and chain to pass the levels, i really liked the ones where the player had to guide the ball when the player would go through the floor. The art looks nice and the music is nice. Great job! Thank you for rating my game!
Thanks, and likewise!
