It is funny how i just dropped below the ground after i finish the game :p The game has very unique and interesting puzzles. I love the graphics too. I was kind of confused why the cable keep breaking at the beginning, it took me a while to figure it out but once I figure out how to stretch the cable and how to connect things, the game started to become more interesting. I guess a bit of tutorial would help there. One complain i have is that the enemy hitboxes are too huge. I swear I didn't hit that scorpion but I just kept exploding. I think this game has great potential, it just need some polish with the controls and adding more content. Well done!! I had fun with the game."},{"author_name":"MirrorPolygons","author_uid":"111528","time":"Aug 29, 2016 @ 10:41am","epoch":1472466960,"text":"Ha, love the string mechanic, reminds me of Unraveled.

It might be a bit easier if the extend\/retract buttons were mapped to the mouse or at least to different area on the keyboard so you could play it with two hands instead of one.\r\rIt seems like there's no reason to wait until the player manually resets after they hit something. You can't do anything to recover, so you might as well reset automatically. This would also make it more accessible for people who glossed over the instructions and might assume the game is stuck when they die.\r\rOn that note, I really appreciated that each pole checkpointed you; it would've been an easy thing to overlook but the game would've have been intolerably frustrating without that!"},{"author_name":"Diz Three","author_uid":"107066","time":"Aug 31, 2016 @ 8:28am","epoch":1472631780,"text":"Kind of confused me what to do at the beginning... but it's pretty simple to understand.

Well some people will have their peace and silence without phones. ;)\r\rSometimes the physics were a bit strange. Felt like you're being pulled by the cable if you stand still.
