Wow! Really satisfying to play. I'am at 18th place on the leaderboard. One of the best games in the jam that i have seen so far. Good job! :)

great feel to the movement and  it was so satisfying to hit the orbs. i wish there was more risk involved to the red orbs because i just started to ignore the color and just get everything to get a high combo, but still a great base game and was really fun to get on the leaderboard

Realy nice idea and game!!! I was sometimes to fast for the balls to spawn in and sometimes my grapple strength was 4135.3 and i got thrown around in the level :D

Genuinely thought I had rated this game my bad! It's a very simple but addictive game, I loved the unique mechanic of grappling instead of throwing balls which is usual of the genre. The visuals were great, the emission added some sci-fi vibe to the whole game. Kudos for implementing the scoreboard! Well done!

Really well done! Fun and engaging. I returned to it multiple times. No noticed bugs, everything worked like it was supposed to. Really fun! (P.S. as of writing this, I am officially the best SilkShot player in the world)

Really fun concept, the rising lava sure puts pressure on and popping balloons sure is addictive! Well done!
