I'm super bad at this, but Its so good I keep trying.  I love how the progression keeps the player from really sticking with a single strategy - at first I thought just swinging around a fixed anchor would be good, but then the [!] blocks got in the way so i had to be more careful, and then the snipers straight up punished that kind of thinking.  The bosses kept things fresh, too!

There are some very minor areas for polish -

• Several of the text-heavy screens have some text layout issues (see below)
• Game doesn't actually pause when the game is over

I agree with b8horpet about the the directions after switching orbs being unintuitive.  Maybe flipping that could be a setting?

Impressive work, though!

Themewise exceptionally good idea, cool mechanics. Kept messing up the directions after switching the orbs, but it's a cool and challenging way of moving.

A local coop mode would be also interesting.

insanely creative usage of the connection theme! controlling 2 tethered orbs is such a fun mechanic. It gets really challenging in the later levels too, I did 3 runs and had such a good time. This has huge potential as a coop game too, imagine the amount of goofy potential when playing with another player. Really great stuff, kudos to the dev!

This would be a great couch co-op game, I would have loved something like this to play with my brother! We are both suckers for these kinds of games. Maybe  that would trivialize, I am not sure but I love the idea and the premise of the game.
