thanks I strive to make simple but unique mechanics that open up to different gameplay possibilities without being too hard to understand.

well the game being hard is the point. I was inspired by NES titles which were short, but hard to get through. Thanks for the comment

Clever idea for the core gameplay. I really like being able to undo things without having to restart the whole level.

Kinda good seeing different takes on the core theme. Had to try lots and lots to finish the puzzle. Overall, a strong 5/5 from me! 

Developer

This game is super polished for how short the Jam is.  The puzzles are just hard enough, the art, UI and music are really nice and take on the theme of the jam is interesting as well.  I hope you will expand it to have more stages in the future!

A really hard and cool game idea that match the theme

Developer

thanks a ton, i took the retro approach of "if the game is not too long, at least make it hard so people take their time with it."

This is arguably the most interesting take on the theme; the hook mechanic is used in almost every level, and the game is somewhat reminiscent of *A Game About Climbing*.
Developer

thanks man

the game was actually gonna be even closer to 'A Game About Climbing' with one huge level, but wrong rock formations leading to a restart meant I had to make my levels bite sized. At least I got to explore that mechanic with the last level, even if it's not too long :)
