only a few levels but the idea good.

Nice music and graphics, although the background seemed a bit out-of-place. The game is also pretty fun, but at times it was a bit too punishing since you could step outside the boundaries quite easily or just get stuck. (like in the first box level if you dragged it too far down you just had to start all the way back)

I really like the rpg-like graphics. Also, I like how the first levels were designed to make it easy to learn what to do. Sounds are pretty good, too. My only issue with this game is the lack of levels, I wish you had made some more. There is potential for some interesting and fun puzzles with this idea, and you would have definitely gotten from me a higher fun rating if there were some more interesting levels. Great job. :)

Not bad, but I got a bit stuck on level 4 (I think). Liked the Chips Challenge feel with added string fun. No need to laugh at me for losing though! :P

That wasn't very challenging.

Cute and fun. The green swinging bar is hard to see, though.

Needs more levels + puzzles.

It was not clear why, with enough rope, it didn't reach some ends.

Not very playable...

Very good and a entertaining one too.

It was a little too slow for me, but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately that was about the same time as the game ended :(

Nice one!

Nicely polished but very short. It took me about 2 minutes to complete the whole game.
3 3 3

pretty easy
4 3 4

Too bad there weren't more levels...

Pretty nice twist on the sliding block puzzle idea. Good work

Please make more levels. I enjoyed it thoroughly. Sprites were good, game play was good. Seriously, make more levels. Really.

Nice visuals, smooth controls. I will love to play a post compo version with more levels (and
more rope tricks ) Glad to play your game.

Interesting puzzles. I was actually left wanting more levels!

Graphics were a little small relative to the game area.

Unusual music.
3 3 3

Could make some interesting puzzles with this. Needs more levels!
4 4 4

Great little game!

Sorry, I don't like it. I cann't handle the fireman to finish his job, and I don't like everytime start, I need replay all level.

i could have given this game lots more of fun points had the levels been harder and more. very nice idea.

Neat game! I liked the music and the puzzle aspect to the game. Good thinking! The elements were
neat, and the timed rope-burning aspect was creative as well. It was short (as I'm sure you're
aware), but all told, good job! BTW, when I lost a level, it didn't reset the level entirely and
replace the blocks that I had moved, but merely recharged my rope and took me back to the
beginning.

All told, great game!

Interesting puzzle game
3 2 3

Has potential for a fun puzzle game. Needs level skipping though.
2 3 3

Nice work putting together a functional platformer! I liked the mechanic, but it would have
been nice to have some puzzles that were a bit challenging.
3 4 3

Good game. The puzzles could have been a little trickier but not bad for a solo entry. Good work.
2 3 3

Well, nice game and nice idea. Music did not fit to the scenery, and the levels were not that challenging..
4 5 5

Really enjoyed the game! Everything seemed to work just fine. The one thing that is missing is more levels. :) I'd love to see this game continued.
3 4 3

I love the music!
3 3 3

Interesting logic game. Levels are a bit too easy and the music is really annoying to me.
3 4 3

Neat game. I liked the hooks? that let you swing by, instead of walking. Music was a nice touch. I had no problems running the game or getting the game to run.
2 2 3

Curious mechanich that reminds me of Zelda's hook, with that 'remaining length' twist. Fun, however, depends on puzzle design. Nice!

Fun game - a few little bugs which once squished would make it a very enjoyable experience.. More time would probably mean more levels..

good job!

<p>Hey, nice puzzle. Plus cute (even if simple) graphics, and decent bg music

<p>I would have scored it higher in fun and production if it had more levels, and perhaps a simple backstory.
3 4 3

Production was nice and the game was pretty fun. It was much too easy though. Nice music too!

Dying isn't handled very well - the map state remains. Several maps I solved by dying after removing a box, meaning I didn't have to conserve my rope. Also, in one case I screwed up by blocking myself off, and there was nothing I could do except start the game over. Fortunately, the game was quite short, making this not so much of a bother. Unfortunately, the game is quite short, and feels like just the tutorial section. The main character sprite was pretty good, but due to the problems with level design/dying bug I had to mark production down.

Yay strings!
3 4 3

Pretty neat game; I like the music.
2 3 2

Fine to play for a few minutes. Enjoyed the death audio.
2 3 3

This was good but I always felt like I was moving really slowly. Good work all the same though.
2 4 3

Nice idea (kind of like reverse sokoban) - it fitted the theme quite well, but it's a bit short! It would make a good puzzle game with more levels though.

3 4 2

Great music, nice graphics, maybe little over used theme, not enough levels.
4 4 3

The fact that the levels don't reset when you restart the level is a rather bad bug. Overall quite a fun little game though.
3 3 4

Fun puzzle game. A thing that really annoyed me was that the levels were not when you died. In level 2 i accidentaly ended up in a dead end (don't ask me how :D) and then i could not do anything since i could not push the box away (can i?). The game was overally fun!

Very nice entry; solid graphics. Got stuck on level 4 though.
