Wow, best 183 seconds of my gamer life. Very hard to control, but so satisfying. Made me laugh a lot, was really into it with that music !

I had way too much fun with this ^^'' The controls are a bit difficult, but the game is so nicely absurd that I still played untill I succeded. Love the rainbows and fishes.

Ok, i managed to get just under 60 seconds. My god was this game such a blast. I feel guilty for liking it but I cannot deny that it was fun. The first time you catch the rope with one hand and all the music starts blasting with the rainbows and fish everywhere makes you burst out in laughter.
Nothing much to add. Perfect game as it is right now.

I liked how do you use the theme, it's very innovative.

The game is very polished and the raibown effect ahhhh, so nice. Good entry!

This game is perfect. Never before have I played a gamejam entry and thought: "This is flawless. There is nothing I don't like" with an expression similar to Niko's on my pfp. If you had managed it in time for the compo, you would have transcended the concept of jamming and achieved gamedev nirvana. This game is perfect as it is. 131.98s

could be better if you have used inverse kinematics principles.

dark... I have very mixed feelings about this game. Nonetheless you deserve pretty high ratings... Well executed.

And now I need to forget I played this and laughed so hard.

At the start I felt like... :( I hope she's ok... after 2 restarts I was like... come on please grab it... by the end I was like GET IN THE DAMN LOOP!

HAhahahaha. This made me laugh so hard. Dark. Well done! Loved the art, music. Controls were a bit weird but not sure what I would have picked instead tbh so maybe that was the right choice. WELL DONE!

Thanks everyone for playing and rating! Especially those who left a review: you made this jam worthwhile for me. Thank you very much!

@sarahs7 Thanks for the feedback! I know that the controls are awkward: it's intentional.

This is so dark so why am I laughing lol Somehow I managed to beat it on my 2nd try, and pretty quick at that! Weirdly fun for it being 4 buttons that don't do what I want half the time. Also anime girls in games is always a plus. ![StuckInALoopLD47.png](///raw/ddc/2/z/39cb2.png)

Holy cow. The happy and encouraging music, the rainbows and fish, the fantastic art, and yet... the objective is to kill yourself. Oh, the irony! That's some dark ironic humor. (Well done!)
