This is nice. I like it. I once had a bug where no enemies spawned. All together, it’s a cool game :) I’d recommend adding a bit more weight and inertia to the rope when spinning up or slowing down.

I've played several lasso games in this jam - but so far yours is the first that lets you use the enemy as a ranged weapon to splatter other enemies! Love that extra element.
I love love love the art, its so aesthetic to look at and makes the experience feel smoother :)
Good concept, good game, good art. Well made! I softlocked myself by tying up all enemies, but after reading controls again I think that may have been my fault for not realising I could kick them..
Awesome concept! Reminds me of those old flash games that I would spend hours and hours on :)
It only took a few seconds to figure out how to TIE 'EM UP and then use those tied up for an attack. Nice gore and sound effects. Cool game can you play mine too!
Cool game! Creative use of the theme. I loved the lasso catching and kicking mechanics. The artwork is well done, and there’s a lot of potential to expand on the lasso mechanics even further. Nice work!
Nice entry ! I had a lot of fun and was able to survive quite long.
The throw was kinda buggy for me, I wasn't able to consistently throw the lassoed enemies away.
Wow you weren’t kidding about having the same lasso mechanic LOL
Your game has a greater variety of enemies, upgrade paths, and a roll vs. ours so great job on implementing those! We wanted a dodge as well but didn’t have the time haha
really fun concept and mechanic!! tho i wish it was faster (player and foes)
Haha, this is fun, but man, those snippers! Too bad you cannot punch them or something when you lasso all of them :D

Thank you for playing! You can kick lassoed enemies if you double click the left mouse button. Unfortunately, it doesn't do any damage to the lassoed enemies (it does to others though), but you can grab some of them after they escape and eliminate the others to progress. I plan to make wave progression more consistent in the future. I appreciate the feedback!
Thank you! @simi_draws could not have done a better job with the art :)
It's quite enjoyable to lasso people into a pulp :) Good game with unique mechanic.
In spare time please also rate my game
