Impressive amount of content and evolution in this one, without losing track of the focus. There was a lot of leeway to the core design - maybe a bit too much but that is better than the alternative for a jam. I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the jump as it kind of became worse as the levels went on, though the animation did compensate for some of the floaty frustration.
This is one of the few lasso games that hasn't strained my wrist, one of the few multi-task games that hasn't overwhelmed me, and an expansive platformer that doesn't overstay it's welcome. You hit on a good melding of elements here.
