I was pretty lost for most of what going on, for instance what's to stop someone from just staying on their original rocket, or what determines when the rope disappears.

Ok, took me awhile to figure it out, but once I got it, it was fun. I like the music and the nice bright graphics. really innovative - very original mechanic.

Some small suggestions: A scoring system for how many jumps you make between rockets. If your only goal is to last a long time and reach the sky then the best strategy is to not jump at all. So seeing a score for how many jumps you've made would give some incentive to jump.

Also, the camera could follow the little guy, so you can see what you're shooting at, and it's hard to predict which direction the rope will shoot (but still pretty good for being made in 72 hours).

Overall, really good.

Pretty tricky to actually make use of the controls. Would be nice to have a way to control the audio column.

maybe I'm missing something, but I think the controls are backwards for me :\

oh well, once I got the hang of them, the game was pretty good. nice idea, and well done :)
