- The swinging mechanic is so much fun! I loved the art direction with the color palette -- it was simple, but it was intuitive and engaging enough. It was super enjoyable to play, and I can definitely see a load of replayability in this one as well. I think employing these mechanics in a larger game would also be a good call -- they're truly fun and dynamic, but I do think the novelty might hit a peak and then taper off, unless the concept is merged/broken up with something else. But what a fun little game! It truly stuck to the theme as well, if with a very literal interpretation (hey, it worked). Very nice work! Also, I always recommend a music mute button, even though the soundtrack wasn't grating or anything.

This is great and the swinging is very satisfying. I think it'd be better if the wires would reset back to normal faster when you're not swinging on them, so that if you mess up you can try again without waiting so long. As a speed run it's great though because you probably won't be messing up. Music is great and art is very fitting.
cool idea, the gameplay was simple and fun, super enjoyable.
second try with 0:45:059
thats a great time good job! and thanks :))
The wires were fun to swing on! And I am unsure but it looks like you used the palette that was given, if so great use of it!
yeah i did use the palette! thank you!
Quite fun, loved the style and physics!
thankyou!
Really cool game! The controls were nice and fluid. Fun simple platformer. I got 3 minutes!
I think the gravity was to high, but the music and sound effects were perfect!!
i did actually wonder if the gravity was a bit too high actually, i might mess around with it a bit later! and glad you enjoyed it and achieved a solid time!
Yeah, it might be a cool game if you make more and more levels. Good luck!
Check out our game if you have time too! I would appreciate any feedback :)
yeah id love to do alot more with this one! and yeah for sure!
Awesome little game! Controls feel good. My only question. Why only music for the left ear?
honestly, i didnt realise it was only in the left ear! i can potentially look into this but ill have to try and replicate it first as ive never experienced this!
Just checked with headphones. It's not panned hard left, However it isn't panned center. It is pushed to the left. Your sound person could have very well did it purposefully!
Yeah it sounds good to me
hm interesting, ill tell the sound guy (me) to check it out!
lol
As a last note. The title screen starts almost center for me. But as soon as gameplay starts it shifts over to like 80% panned left.
oh! yeah thats a bit no bueno ill check that out too, thanks for all the feedback :))
Really good for a first game! The art is simple, yet pleasing to look at and I love the music. There could be more polish with the visuals and the camera movement. It was easier to manuever the level when the camera was still. I would also recommend making the pixel sizes more consistent.
The control scheme was kinda weird, but not difficult to handle. The button for releasing stuff should be the same button, so you could hold the button for grabbing stuff.
The game was short, but it was enjoyable while it lasted. It was also nice to see a timer for speedrunning.
Great job overall! :]
thank you! yeah in retrospect the controls are pretty weird so maybe ill look into this in the future!
2:09! Can't believe it's your first game! Great use of physics, it was very fast but enjoyable!
great time! glad you enjoyed :))
3:10. Thanks for the game! I loved the swinging mechanic. The controls got a bit of getting used to (I ended up using the mouse button) but once I got the hang of it it was fun! Nice music too.
Yeah the mouse button was suggested by a few people playtesting it and i definitely agree that it feels way nicer and way easier lol, glad you enjoyed and you got a good time!
Nice game, I like that you used the color pallet given to us and I myself enjoy the length of the game as I'm trying to play as many games as possible. Great work! :)
thankyou!
Nice idea! I love how the wire are moving and how you can control it!
I would make the character catch things automatically. I would ease the game a bit and enjoy even more to connect wires!
i did think about this actually, could be a really nice touch to add to the fluidness of gameplay!
Simple but good concept. Kind of an easy to learn but hard to master experience which is great for a speedrun where every little move matters. I think the controls should be refined to feel a bit more fluid if you continue the development process. I like the music and the graphics as it has a nice retro vibe that resonates with me. Overall the game is great and fun.
thanks i appreciate it! speedrun games are goated so im glad it worked out
The graphics, the music, the sounds, the gameplay...I really love it! Nice job!!!
thankyou!
Got a time of 2:25:029! Its fun and polished. I think some easier key binds to press would have been nicer, but other than that good job!
solid time! and yeah will for sure look into the keybinds!
Fun game that looks and sounds great! Controls were a bit difficult to get used to, I wanted to jump with W while using the mouse to grab and E and R were hard to press while using A and D to move.
Felt smooth & thought the assets were super well integrated !
That snappy wire connecting is so satisfying. Really like the concept of the world too, felt like a tiny person in a circuit board
im glad you enjoyed it!
I'm a ninja! ROARRR
tiny quick game, little puzzling. Guess it's for speed run? (I'm about 1min 46s)
yeah more of a speed run game with minor puzzle elements! thats a pretty good time!
Fantastic concept really liked the levels you managed to fit in!
thanks :))
I like this game but I wish it was longer
i would for sure be interested in making the game longer if time permits, but for now i think the shortness of it will have to do for the jam! maybe ill crank out something though :
