This is shockingly tough. A good challenge for anyone with the patience and skills, which is not necessarily me haha
I'm struggling a little to understand the controls, I would think that you just have control of both ends, eezy peezy. If I hook one end, I feel I can use it to hold myself while swinging up my backside. For some reason I can't? It's like I only have the strength to move one end at a time, which I'm guessing might be a choice to increase the difficulty.
It doesn't necessarily seem bad, just tough. I'm slowly getting the mechanic and had a few good runs, made it to the final statue to the left before moving up to the next level.
Might give this a few more tries, see if I can get a handle on it.
