Nice game! It has leaderboards! Mmmm! I love leaderboards, every game should have leaderboards. Even sudoku.

Heh, this is hilarious! It's pretty fun too, nice job! I think your game is actually pretty well balanced.

Interesting idea, It was a little difficult to understand what I was doing at the beginning, but I really the concept
Lyszie25 Aug 2014, 05:15
Such a fun game! :DD
ClutchNachos25 Aug 2014, 05:17
That intro is hilarious xD and the game itself is addicting

Very fun game :)

There is a small bug with the end game screen if you press space at the wrong time but nothing game breaking.

Pretty solid game. Live leaderboards is a great feature and keeps it competitive across users. Some of the planets were frustrating to swing between and the last level I got to, I was just bouncing around like a crazy madman trying to deliver cat videos to people, but I enjoyed getting to the top of leaderboard in the process.

I like the "connection" of the story to the game and how cables sticks!

I like this. I only wish you could click away the intro text to try again after a mess up. Nice with a leaderboard. You other guys are way too good at this.
invi25 Aug 2014, 06:32
Very solid game mechanic. This has a lot of potential. Awesome game.
fserbauthor25 Aug 2014, 06:35
@Roknsk, can you tell me the browser/os you tried?
fserbauthor25 Aug 2014, 06:35
@sanojian. I thought I had added a key to skip the intro text, but there was a small bug. Fixed it. :)
fserbauthor25 Aug 2014, 06:35
@khahem fixed that! :) thanks.
vinhuman25 Aug 2014, 07:15
I had a lot of fun. Grabbed the second spot on the leaderboards and was apparently blown out by the game's creator, but I would expect that much. I bet someone will pass me soon though :P.

Awesomely simple mechanic with lots of room for replay, and leaderboards! Good job!
ninjascript25 Aug 2014, 13:46
Great entry! Unique mechanics that are still pretty easy to pick up. I wish there were more levels!
malf25 Aug 2014, 13:50
Very fun game! I have a difficult time with the mechanics but I think it was my fault for not reading the introduction :D
ittlebit25 Aug 2014, 13:53
Fun concept, interesting premise, well done!
McFood25 Aug 2014, 15:46
Great gameplay, It seemed a bit glitchy if I came close to connecting 2 planets at once.
Lots of fun, challenging but fair, looks great and funny.
Really good job =)
kidanger25 Aug 2014, 16:00
Simple but fun! I like the graphics and the effects. The difficulty curve is a bit high though.
Jake Coxon25 Aug 2014, 17:47
Great game, took the theme very literally, leader boards always a plus, and the graphics are nice too.
Tanner25 Aug 2014, 18:44

Really nice idea and good for the theme. Fun.

(works on chrome but doesn't work on Firefox/win for me, here's the console log:
"Lib.hx:114: Warning: Graphics.drawRoundRect is not implemented" LD30.js:3600
TypeError: this.__sourceImageData is undefined LD30.js:5093" )

@dunin thanks for feedback. I'll check this out.

Very cool physical concept, i love the feeling we get to control it !

BadgerPriest26 Aug 2014, 16:50
Wow, what a fun original game concept!

I really enjoyed the way the game mechanics work: penalizing speed based on cable length encourages the player to make more interesting paths, and I like how you get bounced but not killed when you hit a planet.

Top score so far: 141.
Otrora26 Aug 2014, 21:51
It gets a bit repetive after a wild. But overall very good
korigame27 Aug 2014, 01:21
Great little game, the cables are really well done - I laughed when the score screen popped up :)

Eduardo27 Aug 2014, 02:03
Really cool! I liked of the cables, really juicy!
Empyrealhell27 Aug 2014, 03:31
Can't click to start the game on Firefox.
Navarckyx27 Aug 2014, 12:20
Really fun game to play, although your wrist hurts after a while :) I really like how your speed slows down the longer you try to move away without attaching it to a planet, it's like it's stretching like a real physical thing - things like that do not go unnoticed. It's also nice how your ship swings around.

1,486 points. Take that fserb! :D

Simple idea, good game! And very well done. I like the colors and the simplicity. It's quite addictive once you get the hang of it!

Hey great game, nice job. unique concept of roping the planets, I would play this on mobile for sure. Keep going with it! Thanks for making it browser friendly also!

The rocket moves are smooth, it's pleasant to fly around planets.
If you planned to continue working on the game, a mode with a limited length cable could be fun.

Wow - that is fun... I played the first level and thought, eh, you just loop around the edge and that's it... by level 3 I was hooked. I love the concept too - would be great to meme-ify it 20% ;)

This is great! It's very polished, it looks awesome, it's fun to play and easy to grasp. I love the way you explain the concept and the way you implemented the theme. But I found the time limit rather annoying than challenging, but I guess the leaderboards make more sense this way.
Mike Mezhenin10 Sep 2014, 17:48
Awesome! 228 planets now have cats, I'm proud of myself.
