I think perhaps I wasn't supposed to eat every scrap of metal on my satellite and feed it to my tether? Either way, I had fun bouncing around, catching scrap and playing with physics.

I found extending your tether too much made it way too difficult to control and easy to get knocked all over.

The execution is very well done. Visually looks stunning. It took me a solid while until I realized that it is much easier, if you tether yourself to the middle of the structure. When I was jumping from the end, I could not control anything and just being kept slingshot in every way possible :D Solid entry, I admire boldness to do such physics for a jam game and it payed off :) One thing I would do is to extend hitbox a little, certainly for antena parts, as they are goal of the game.
