Great job! The mood of the game is really cute - I love it! The characters are cute and the setting too. Thank god for the reminder to click the R button!! It feels like one ot those games that are easy to learn but darn difficult to master :) Goo job!

Loved the rope animation. Gave me Kerbal vibes with the characters.

Thank you for playing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Broccolly did such a good job with the rope physics; I'm wanting to do more levels (post jam) to show it off.

Very cute art style. Felt game play was pitched just challenging enough - very grateful for the checkpoints and the well placed reminder of the R key! Loved finding all the characters hidden around (and of course the main man himself, Bob) :)

Very cute. like the slingshot aspect. Funny how the infinite checkpoints is useful.

Controls feel a bit awkward but I love the premise and the rope!

Very nice. The launch controls felt good and I liked the extra twist added by the rope. The cute music fit the visuals perfectly.

6 min 44 seconds, it was really fun it was cool to throw my self around. It was a new and interesting way to approach the depths, but it was done very well.

Super cute game with a really fun mechanic! Level design and rope physics are awesome. I love plum, bob and all the not-bobs

Great, fun, cute. Probably the first game I've played this jam where I can confidently give a "Humor" score at all :sweat_smile: I like that it's very focused on one mechanic and does it well. The only improvement I can think of is that it would've been great to have mouse controls for the aiming & jumping

A really fun and cute entry! I laugh quite a bit with that one guy that says he's not bob XD Its quite an interesting take in the angry birds slingshot control! The graphics are quite cute and the music has a nice vibe to it.
I didn't understood exactly the purpose of the wires, since I always pressed space to get rid of them.

All that said I really liked it overall! The cup of hot coffee in the end made me feel really chill. Great entry, keep up the good work! :)

Wow, what a great game and such incredible potential! I love the rope physics, and the level design is excellent. I would have loved to see graphics with a unique art style, but I totally understand that you focused more on programming and game design. Still, this game deserves more attention and a bigger audience, I absolutely love it. Great game!
