Fun concept, great graphics, didn't like how I couldn't figure out how to restart the game once I died (had to restart the game from the console). Also being assaulted by mushroom wielding crab people and being pushed off the level before laying a single meter of cable on my first attempt was sort of disconcerting, but next attempt I made it much further :p

Interesting idea and personal graphics. Enter as a shoot button is somehow confusing.

This game had some of the most original enemies I've see thus far this LD! hahahaha! I enjoyed playing it. Good luck to you :)

A very quick paced action platformer, I enjoyed it! Unfortunately it seems to be largely luck if you dodge the crab attacks, so it's mostly a race to the finish.

I love the cable physics (is it getting stuck on stuff though?) and the concept of bringing Google Fibre to other WORLDS even, after seeing all the internet problems American Redditors have. You get extra points for that concept.

I really love the music, perfect for this kind of game.

Nice graphics and music. Would be nice to aim with a mouse instead of only having a few directions to shoot.

nice game, but what i disliked was the controls. i think a combination of keyboard (move) and mouse (aim and shoot) would improve this ALOT.
i liked the 8bit sounds :)

Would've loved to be able to use mouse controls for shooting :D

Nice idea. As the others say, the controls were a little weird. I also would have preferred using the mouse to shoot.
