The concept pretty cool. However, the controls are a bit weird.

Cool, thanks! Yeah I agree that feels like it should work but I couldn't figure out the details. The issue is that there can be multiple vertical sections (once you get past the tutorial). So when there's more than one vertical segment that can extend, which one should extend when you press up? It makes a difference because the arms will be at a different height.
