Cool concept. I really  like how you connected theme with limitation. Though game seems kinda hard for me.

Hey there, I've gone ahead and added a WebGL version in case you wanted to give it a go.

A very difficult game, but not a bad thing. Sounds, visuals are good and the ball mechanics are interesting!

Really fun take on the theme and an excellent use of colour! It took me quite a while to fight the instinct to jump over the inmates myself. A great submission!

This was so fun to play, at first the ball and chain really felt like well a ball and chain, but as the game goes on you learn to controll it and its really fun to play arround with the physics of it

This game is very good! I found myself screaming noo as well when I fail. I love how much physics you managed to add! And you incorporated the theme and the limitation so well. Great job

It's pretty fun I even laughed sometimes.

Putting 2 guys right by the door of the level with the glass statue was incredibly violent and not very pacifist of you!

But very fun little entry! This prison really should replace their ball and chains, they're supposed to make it harder for people to escape, not easier!

I really liked it. The concept is great. I just find it a bit hard to control the ball like i want to.

Is up to now one of the best that I have played in this game jam. Just I think that the jump control with space is uncomfortable, but it is an excellent game. Congratulations.

Great game very replayable, extremely difficult. Love the simplicity of the concept
