It's cute! I love the artstyle and the music. Here are my thoughts:
- You need a tutorial. I am very thankful that at least you explained you to play in the itch.io description, many games don't even do that, so good job, but an in-game tutorial would be better.
- I am especially bad at learning many things at the same time, but I think this goes for many players: don't assume that just because a player used a mechanic once, they understand how it works. It is never like that. The second, third, fourth time I use a mechanic I am experimenting, I am still not sure I get it. You can't teach three mechanics at once. Start with a bunch of levels with only rope, then introduce something else.
- Please make the pause button actually pause, what is that... :|
