It is fun to watch it bounce around the screen, and speed up when you mouse over or hold the mouse button on it. It isn't much of a game, but it certainly is interesting and unique!
I like that the controls are visible on the right side of the screen, so you don't need to look at any external sources such as the project page to know how to play.
The game is far from perfect, but that is reasonable given the time limit.
The art is very nice to look at, and I like the rope physics!
I also didn't know what a winch was before reading the instructions, so I looked up the definition, and now I know what a winch is, so this game is arguably an educational experience as well :)
The highest score I managed to get was $600 before getting eaten by the fish. I might play some more later to try for a better score :
A very simple game, but enjoyable. It reminds me of The Impossible Game, just like CMRobbie said. I would definitely play more of it if there were more levels.
The only real issue is that you can press the button without getting the cursor, but I wouldn't have known that if you didn't put it in the description :P
This is a very solid game. Great use of the one button theme, and it could definitely be expanded upon. My only complaint is that on the fourth level, there is a spot where you can get stuck, and the only way to get out is to restart the game.
The fifth level is also very difficult, but I was able to do it after several tries.
