Hi streamed your game, my feedback is my commentary !

Developer

Wow! Thank you for playing! :D

An interesting game that's not too hard, it's pretty addictive. The only turn off is the unpredictable nature of when the strings cut. It seems procedural so it definitely has longevity, great work!

Thank you! :D

It's an interesting take on the theme! Nicely done.

Developer

Thank you! :D

Nice puzzle game! The levels are well designed. Sometimes the cut does not register if you move too fast

Developer

Thank you! :D

nice game! the controls are responsive and the mechanics/goal  is easy to understand. this game is developed well and has good replay value, keep it up!

Developer

Thank you! :D

Hey, I like this game! Sometimes when I tried to cut the rope it would go through and not register, which kind of messed with the flow of the game. Overall though, great job, I love the art and application of the theme!

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback! :D

a decent, yet simple game, it takes the theme very literally, which isn't inherently bad, but extremely limits the output of your game, some powerups or screenshake, or even different types of ropes, i think would boost this a lot.

Developer

Sorry, I didn't think about that. Thank you! I appreciate your feedback! :D

Fun game! I feel a few powerups or level modifiers would be a quick win for adding depth. Are the levels premade or procedural? Good work!

Developer

The levels are procedural, you can reach level as high as you can. Anyway, thank you for playing and your feedback! :D

really cool, well polished, i love the postprocessing and glow on your art. super easy game loop and was quickly addictive. not bad :)

Developer

Thank you! :D

That's a really cool and addicting game. The limited palette and 8-bit music also adds that fun retro arcade vibes.

The only real problem is the cut not being detected half of the time, especially if I move my mouse fast. If I had to guess, it's because you're checking for overlap instead of ray tracing from previous to current physics frame, might want to look into that.

Nevertheless,  I liked it.

Developer

Maybe I should check on my code again later. BTW, Thank you for playing! :D

Got to level 37 before i lost was quite fun and easy to learn only problem was how loud the music was. other than that great submission well done

Developer

Thank you! I appreciate your feedback! :D

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed cutting the strings, once I held the mouse button down and didn't let go. The music was way too loud so I would suggest some music/sound settings to adjust the levels. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I will consider updating it in the future! :D

Cutting the ropes seems to only work at the end of each segment. Once I understood that it became a lot more doable, but it's still not very intuitive. Sometimes the white and red orbs spawn on top of a white one, which makes the rope uncuttable without losing a life. Still is pretty fun to play though, keep up the good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I highly appreciate your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I couldn't really get the mouse swipes to cut the rope fyi. I ended up just mouse clicking on the ropes and that worked. Seemed like it was going to go on indefinitely as I wasn't losing any lives? I think a count down timer would work well for something like this (kinda like a wario ware micro game)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing! I highly appreciate your feedback! :D

I like the visal quality of the game. The thumbnail especially looks great. The game was really simple though, wasn't really challenging. The strings were not always responsive when I tried to cut. 

Developer

Thank you! :D

This is a fun little game - I felt like the controls could be a bit snappier (I found that if I clicked and dragged quickly over a string then it wouldn't always cut the string properly). Maybe if you did something like "see how many levels you can clear in 30 seconds" to force the player to go really quickly then that could take the game to the next level!

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate your feedback! :D
