This is really fun. It needs polishing but it's new and innovative.

Very nice, neat graphics!
On the little downsides the fail effect is very hardcore and I encountered some bugs with the cable on the 3rd or 4th level.

It's quite buggy. The idea is interesting, but the execution has some significant problems that prevent it from being the game I'd like to play.

this game is really cool! The graphics, puzzle, gameplay and mechanic in this game is superb! Although the control is a bit weird. but still good job!

An incredibly cute game. I had some bothersome issues with the cord getting stuck on the nails though. And the collision detection on the dangerous objects was a bother more than once, diminishing the fun.

But this is a really clever take on the theme and a pleasure to look at. Good job there

Beautiful game! Nice mechanics, art and music. Very polished. Sometimes the cable seems to stuck, but the overall impression is great!

I liked it tho sometimes you didnt attach to nails which you had obviously been round and it kinda sucked whenthat happened but with a few fixes this has a lot of potenetial

Cool concept and a joy to play. Really great aesthetic. The movement felt a little clunky sometimes, and I often got caught in the walls, however overall I had fun with this. Keep up the great work!

Nice! First of all, the graphics and music are absolutely amazing, especially the music. The concept of the game is extremely interesting and fun, however unfortunately the controls would only half of the time work for me and collision detection is a bit buggy. Still, the game is overall fun!

Here and there are some glitches, e.g. sometimes your cable gets stuck on Nails or corners of the wall or it simply glitches through Objects, but all in all it's a nice game, which is challenging, but not too hard.

Really nice graphics, sound effects and music. The gameplay is innovative and works well too. With a bit of polish it's the kind of game I would happily play for hours.

I did encounter a bug where the wire switches to the other side of the peg sometimes when plugging in so I couldn't do the third level. Also, I feel that if the plug simply followed the mouse it would feel a bit more intuitive rather than using the keyboard controls which are a little clunky. Overall I really enjoyed it, nice job! :)

Nice idea and gameplay. There were some bugs like sticking to the wall or the game didn't run on opera, but on mozilla it worked fine. Overall, pretty great and entertaining!

Good concept and design!
A point to review in my opinion: when you change plug after making a connection, the new plug takes control too quickly while we have not yet time to see it to the camera. By the way, I made several times cut the cable without paying attention...

Great game! There were a few bugs, but nothing that hindered my progress too much. I loved the presentation and the graphics were very clean. The music was an excellent choice as well, and it fit the mood well. I would love to see a more stable version with new mechanics and puzzles.

Sorry to use this to contact you. Speaking about my game : Hello. It is because every move and every shot costs you power. The core idea is to save your power. So move and shoot wisely;-)
I test your game and give feedback ASAP!

Oh it is a cool puzzle game with a nice game mechanics. The difficulty is progressive and the way to solve problems are really smart.

Amazing idea of gameplay, but needs more polishing:
- UI could be more polished,
- cable ends can sometimes stuck in walls.

Graphics are simple, but looks really nice. Music fits the game perfectly and creates awesome mood. I like the puzzles a lot, they were sometimes challenging, but really fun to solve. Good Job!

PS update Dropbox link, it does not work ;)

The plug often wen through the walls and the cord would get stuck in the corner with no real understanding as to how I could get it untangled. However, the idea is easy to grasp and the theme representation is solid. I like the simple but nice visual, the fun music tide with it, the easy to read/understand UI that informs me of my current status.
