really cool idea, it feels really cool when you build up a lot of speed and I like how you have the health bars around all of the objects and player so you can easily see how much they have left. I think adding a way to boost yourself forward like a power up or just a rechargeable ability could be cool since if you lose speed its fairy hard to get it back. Otherwise though great job!

Thank you very much for your feedback! We thought about adding some kind of ability as you mentioned. Sadly we kind of run out of time. So at the end we prioritised on getting a stable release out. But i am glad you still liked it. :D

Interesting idea. I found the tethering mechanic pretty difficult to control, though when I did use it effectively it was satisfying. I also liked it when I blew an enemy up.

Thank you for your feedback. Honestly we spent a lot of time implementing the tethering mechanic.  At the end we wanted it to feel like a rope. (Our idea was a grappling gun) The visual representation was kind of complicated. So there is still ways of improvment. Anyways i am glad you liked our game!
