I really love this idea, you could definitely see how it could be expanded in interesting ways with more time to make more levels and explore things! I think I'd prefer if you simply couldn't go out of the range of your link, instead of it breaking: if it just tied you down and stopped movement at the max length that would ease some of the frustrations I had with trying to get just a little bit further, then the link breaking and basically guaranteeing I'd have to restart. Overall though I did finish the whole thing and liked the idea, nice work!
