Great concept but this is way too difficult to play, and not because it takes getting used to but because there's not enough options for the player movement. You should be able to control the strength with which you throw the ball, and you should be able to pull yourself when hanging off a ledge. So while this is a great concept, and it is fun when it works, it is difficult to enjoy as is. Right now the controls feel too restrictive.

Thanks for the feedback! I intended on it being pretty difficult (mostly because the game is only about 10 levels long), but with that being said some of the last levels are probably too difficult (and can be frustrating for some people). I definitely could add some way to change throw strength (or maybe a couple buttons to throw at a different strength each). I'm not sure about adding a way to pull yourself up though, I think that would ruin a lot of the "traps" in the levels. Thanks for playing!
