Ahah we have such a similar games about escaping the prison, with something heavy attached to you xD
it was really fun, but i agree with blkdragon that second level is too harsh and better be swapped with something similar from later levels to teach swinging)

The concept is good, but the controls are difficult.  I could not figure out how to get to the platforms in the second room, the ball didn't go high enough, I couldn't catch the ball and throw mid-air, nor catapult myself up beyond the ball.  I just got stuck.

Liked the atmosphere, and with a few quality of life additions and polish, this could really shine! Good work!

I really liked the  ball throwing mechanic and your creative way of having you dangle from other platforms!

Could not pass the second level where it say you can press R to restart, but the look and idea are pretty good.

We had the save idea at start of jam, but make another one.

Couldn't solve the steps puzzle, but great implementation and feels great to play!

I quite like the art style. Maybe should have added a key binding to bring back the ball to us as it forces the player to go down to get it back sometimes. Anyway, it is a nice work !
