Really cute concept! Such a fun and original game!

This little experience oozes with charm. Short but sweet, basic but effective art style. Cable physics were finicky, but I got there in the end. Just sad their wasn't more! Good job.

lovely! tried playing greedy, took two wires at a time, they of course hanged from the platform, got stuck, had to release one. life lessons. that was fun, thank you!

Could have been a fun simple puzzle game, but the weird too strong momentum adds too much difficulty, especially when jumping and while handling the worms πŸ˜… Also, it took me a long time to understand that I had to let the elevator cable fully stop, then wait to the worm I have catch to fully retract, if I don't want struggling to have the worm fully on the plateform with me, instead of weirdly melt with it, forcing me to find strange ways to make it go on… However, the main idea is good, and I managed to finish it, even if it took me way longer than I expected, and a little less fun (and sorry for the cute guy, I didn't minded the edge, and at the time I'm writing it, I guess he's still falling)

I love the concept, but I had a little bit of difficulty with the camera controls and some of the momentum felt slippery for me so it was difficult to platform precisely.

Really cute character and wonderful world design choices!

what a cute concept and game. loved the art style!!! The movement mechanics were a little slippery but the character and world were so charming. Great entry :)

Such a cute game with a really lovely, cozy atmosphere. Great work!

Chill game, I'm agree that the momemtum is strong, like we are walking on ice.

It's a fun, calm game. Music is in the mood, it's 3D, you can reduce mouse sensitivity. Well done !

Great game, i made it to the end and then jumped off!!! The axe thing at the level near the end doesn't kill you, right? -J

Such a little cutie running around. A very sweet game concept. I enjoyed playing it.

This was really fun! I was thinking about doing something with a switchboard at the start of the jam but it would have been nowhere near as fun as what you did here! It was very relaxing running around and dragging the cables which felt very satisfying. Some of the platforming felt a little hard with the momentum based movement and a little higher jumping would have been nice but otherwise this was really fantastic! Great job!

The title made me laugh. A fun and cute game, great job!

I really liked this! The puzzles are interesting and the rope-physics stuff was cool, like the one that pulls you all the way up to the top and the swing ones especially. And, as others have said, the art and music work really well!

It took me embarrassingly long to figure out that you could grab 2 things at once - for a while I was trying to jump all the way up carrying the worms, until I realized you could use the elevator wire at the same time.

Super cute graphics, I found there were a few times where a wire got stuck on an edge and I had to backtrack to get it unstuck but overall I had a lot of fun with this. Really solid game jam entry, well done!

Nice! Very cute and I loved the colors, and there was alot of creative exploration of the underlying game mechanic - cables are goals, flowers, swinging vines, and shortcuts all at once. I did feel that the physics were pretty floaty and slippery, it was really finnicky to get the cables onto higher platforms, and honestly the large switchboard at the top of the final large room quickly felt like a chore more than fun gameplay once I got a couple switches in, but I liked it. Tiny nitpick: holy mouse sensitivity batman! Overall, really good work and a well put together 3d platformer

So charming!! I love the little orb player! A really fun spin on the switchboard idea, especially seeing all the different ways you converted objects into cables. Well done!! 😊
