The idea behind the game, the art and the music is beautiful.
I got soft locked at the very beginning when the thread was first introduced. I shot the thread too close to the platform and couldn't change which side I was climbing on. I reloaded and tried a few more times and that one problem kept me from progressing at several points.

Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
Based on the theme, we set aside other connections and focused solely on the two hands in the theme. This made us think about the relationships between people and the act of creating things with hands. Combining this with China's intangible cultural heritage of kesi weaving, we arrived at our theme. We use the threads of kesi not just as materials for the artwork, but also as a means to carry familial bonds and the inheritance of intangible cultural heritage. The delicate and sometimes distant relationship between the two hands is connected through these fine threads.

Yes, we actually set it so that if there is already a rope in a nearby position, players are not allowed to launch another rope, in order to avoid multiple ropes in the same spot. However, it seems that the condition check has a range that's a bit too large. We will make adjustments to it. Thank you for your suggestion~

Thank you for your comment! Maybe you can try jumping towards the rope. When you land on the rope, you can hold down the S or W key to move up or down. When you want to get off the rope, please press the space bar. Please note that while on the rope, you cannot move from one side to the other. You need to move on the ground. I hope you can give it a try. Thank you.

If someone likes it, it makes us extremely happy. Because what we want to convey is also a very small, subtle and warm emotional connection among family members.
First of all, I would like to thank you for your comment. This rope is indeed designed for climbing. You can try jumping onto the rope and then hold down the 'w' or 's' keys to move up and down. You can also hold down the 'j' and 'w' keys to shoot the rope upwards, which will help you reach the higher platforms.
