This was a nice game. The concept was unique, and the game is short enough that it isn't boring. The chain felt weirdly 'floaty' and at times I was worried that it was going to drift into enemies outside of my vontrol.

An interesting game mechanic and nice art (would have loved some animated sprites, it looks very in motion).

If you continue to develop this, you might want to play with the chain a bit, I think it should behave more like a rope (slide along joints when under tension, hope you understand what I mean).

Very nice concept! Love the meaning of it and the visuals, music helps to create this moody feel. 
The only thing i could say is the shrink rate of the link might be a bit slow to adjust moves around the fixed pebbles witch increases the difficulty because of the countdown. Anyway great entry! and great job to the team!

Damn it's hard, but the idea is super nice :)

Nice original idea, really well presented :)

I was most often killed by things happening off screen, though (like chains draping a bit more as I turned, etc.) so I wonder if a larger field of view would make things seem fairer.

That said, I got to the end, so :D

Lovely art, and I love games that include non-human characters! Fun puzzles too. I enjoyed figuring out how everything worked and what the strategy was, including the off-screen elements.

I found a way to win in 20:4 ;)

Neat game, I enjoyed playing it a couple of times. The art is very soothing.

Super charming and a surprisingly dark theme. The main mechanic was really fun! Every time I reached the end I would die as the spirit came back down so I never got to see the ending :(

I really like the art style used in this game, it is also fun to play!

Really good art and use of the theme. I found that shortening the chain was a bit jittery and the time limit was a bit low at first but really great job, especially with art and serene atmosphere.
