Nice simple game. I liked your game mechanics. Not enough background music. I liked your game!

This little gem is deceptively simple, and is packed with potential. You wouldn't go wrong to expand on this idea post-jam, starting with some music, then more levels.
Really enjoyed this! Well done, and good luck! :D

Laser 'Purr'cisionI liked the concept but I think it would feel way better if the yarn shot out towards your cursor regardless of if you are clicking on a wall or not.

Purr-anormal Cat-ivityYarn Ball Grapple Game has such a generic name and that's a real shame. The Developer clearly had trouble trying to think of a suitable name for this game. They also seemed to have trouble coming up with more levels. It's unfortunate, this game has potential. While the concept is quite original with the use of a yarn ball. There's just some things I wish I had seen in this game: Scissors / Sharp Objects that would cut the string you use to propel off the ground. It was very generic hazards; lava, fire, etc. However, I can see the Developer at least tried and that's something I can admire.
I've seen this gameplay mechanic used far better in other games. But that doesn't mean the Developer has failed to deliver something speical. In fact, I recommend you try this game out because while the levels may be short. There is still quite a challenge to them. Specifically, Level 5.
Overall, Nomisio has made something great without realizing its potential. Please continue working on this game! There's so much to love here! Just keep up the great work! :D

Bee Swarm ManiaGreat mechanic, amazing design, simple but good sound effects! Great! Really enjoyed playing the game! I don't know if that was intended but the level select menu is great to learn how to use the mechanic ... although I had to get used to the grappling.. played the first level so often just because I accidentally fell into that slot XD

[C]AtelierWho doesn’t love a grappling hook mechanic? And this game has nothing but a grappling hook! This game is simple, fast and fun. You could totally make hundreds more levels for this game. Now levels 4-5 are pretty frustrating, the fire is too easy to hit, especially if you try to go faster than a crawl. I would also like to be able to click closer to the yarn ball, for when you need to make fast maneuvers.
