- Wow I really liked this a lot, so unique! It was really challenging to get the hang of, but once I got a feel for the mechanics I had a hard time stopping (even if I was doing a bad job, I wanted to keep trying!) You should definitely expand on this!

Awesome game! I had a similar idea a few years ago fo a creature(like uncle Scrooge McDuck) going deeper and deeper into a mine looking for gold. With a lot of polish this could be a great mobile game. Good Job!
Thanks for the feedback. It is encouraging.
Going deeper into a mine suspended from a rope and swinging side to side? I loved that TV series. Thanks for bringing up fond memories.
Sounds interesting.
Well I called it a mine, but actually a hole in the ground or a cave is more correct. I am just a bit sleepy. But you get the idea, with a narrative and some polish you could go a long way :)
cool idea and i love it it bit hard for me but i like it
Really cool mechanic and game idea, I got mad a couple times lol. Thanks for not making the collisions pixel perfect :), good job!
Thanks for noticing that! That is a great compliment.
Games like this one is the reason why I love game jams. Just randomly find a game with a mechanic that I never experienced before.
Very well done.
Thank you so much, Yoko! I share your feelings about game jams. I have seen some amazing stuff in Ludum Dare.
Such a nice idea and fits the theme very well. And it's surprisingly hard actually.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Such a nice idea and fits the theme very well. And it's surprisingly hard actually.
Very interesting take on the theme! I took an insanely long time to get past the first level because I just couldn't find the "flow". I managed to get up to the level with the circles but it was a bit too difficult for me >__< I really like the mechanic though! It feels really good when you manage to catch the swing at the right momentum.
Solid jam theme implimentation. it doesnt have to be a super catchy hook, its just an object of time but the mechanic makes the whole game a true shiner.
You should def consider expanding this into a mobile game, ill be playing that for sure if you do.
I really liked the mechanics. But for me the Levels get too fast too hard. For me the Level with the moving circles was impossible.
Good work getting to the circles level. It is a respectable achievement. :) <3 You can stop the ball in mid-air by clicking on it and wait for the circle to go up. :)
Ok, that is fun, but omg does it get hard! Really nice and simple concept! Couldn't pass that level with the moving circles, tried like 20 times lol Well done!
Thanks for the honest feedback. :) Good work passing the first few levels! That’s really cool. :) For the spheres you can stop in mid-air by clicking on the ball. <3
bit hard, but solid mechanics. I love how I can do the move with pendulum upside down.
Thanks for commenting and playing my game!
Upside down, it’s my favorite part too. <3 Hope you’ll have a memorable jam experience!
