Great idea! I loved the music, it really tied the whole experience together (excusing the pun). I can see how this kind of level design could quickly spiral into really challenging puzzle situations!

Very clever game, and this is a really interesting twist on the joining rope idea!  I think you did a great job on this.

It's very cool that the string will act as a "timer" when the two balls get disconnected! I also like the art and physics on the string, looks nice! One little thing I noticed is that my string can be pulled very long when I hit a triangle wall in the purple level.

Cool game, love the black and white aesthetic.

A fun challenge to get through each level without breaking your lifeline, done super well and really smooth on the gameplay!

It was a short but pretty cool game. It was a little hard controlling 2 balls at once, but overall a nice idea. I am actually really impressed with the string physics. It feels really well polished. Great work!

A little bit strange moving both characters at the same time but nice mechanics & puzzles. I liked it :D

One of many tethered together characters. But I really like the mechanic that you can rebond in this one! Nice!

This game feels really polished and is one of my favorite in this jam. The mechanics are simple but it does take some effort to execute it correctly. The music can be a bit repetitive but it still fits the atmosphere. The string physics looks really smooth and realistic.

The only problem that I'm facing is that I keep mixing the controls for the balls, but I think it's because the game itself is quite short, so there isn't a lot of time to get used to it.

Great job!

Thank you so much! I spent a long time nailing down the string physics and even more on the reconnecting part (and it's still not perfect 😅).

Even as the developer I still mix up the controls consistently. They aren't perfect, but I didn't have the time to experiment with different control schemes.

nice!! i like the simple art style, and the lifeline mechanic is interesting :D

Thank you!

Short and sweet kind of game. Most of the levels were pretty straight forward, but the last one got me hooked.

Developer

Yep, the last level is my favorite, but I ran out of time to make more complex levels like it.

Such a great time!

Great game. The concept is surprisingly interesting. It takes a bit to get used to handling two controls at once but once you get it those evil spaghetti missing triangles are no match!

The music and artstyle feel very well together, reaching the end gives a good dopamine fix.

Good job! Congrats on submitting!
