Oddly satisfying to jump around. I did not even notice the wind mechanic at first. Those flies are hard to catch. Flies should definitely stay on the screen longer. A way to charge your jump for speed would seem appropriate too.

Nice work.

Fun concept, I liked building the web. I feel like having both the sticky web break easily and a limited number of webs too difficult. It was really rewarding to catch a fly in my web. Also I collided with a fly mid jump sending me to my doom :D.

Tricky, but a really good idea and a really nice mechanic. I enjoyed this game a lot. The amount of charge on your jump could have been more intuitive - I didn't know whether I was going to reach my destination or whether I could control it.

Overall I loved this game, I found all the mechanics to be innovative and I overall really had fun building the web and found it oh so satisfying when I caught a fly, it suited the theme perfectly and in a very unique way, I did however find that the art style could have been polished a little better, I liked the playful audio and I think it suited the vibe the game was giving and helped to provide an excellent mood, overall an excellent game, great job.

Really neat idea! It was a little tricky to get the hang of it at first, but trying to come up with a good, sturdy web ended up being a lot of fun.

I'll agree that the game should have started with a level with more abundant webs, to give the player a better chance to get used to things.

Fun game! The web physics were quite impressive. The game was a little hard to play & understand at first but after getting used to it the system was pretty good. Good job!
