I beat it in 44:44! Wow that game was amazing but also really stressful when you're really high up, you can't for the life of you touch a grip, your stamina is low and then you make it worse by accidently letting go with another hand... and that's why this game is so good. I was tempted to give up like halfway through the map but I chose to keep going. I love the music that played as I was near the top, it really motivated me to keep going.
I guess my only complaints are that the ending wasn't as epic as the music was suggesting, and then also I'd like the hands to let go as soon as I tell them to instead of sometimes having a multiple second delay. Either way, I loved this and it's one of my favourites from this jam!

Congratulations on beating it!
During playtesting I also found myself in the same stressful scenario.
I apologize that the ending was a bit anti-climactic! I really ought to have implanted some type of leaderboard or exciting reward for reaching the top.
Take pride in knowing you're one of the few to have succeeded. Many simply gave up.
I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the detailed feedback!
