I like the animations and music.

I dislike the flashing messages about available controls and the way the wires are controlled.

Note for the others: Disable uBlock to play in the applet.

Agreed, it took me a while to figure out that I could use any control scheme and I didn't have to quickly jump and press whatever keys were presented as "press x" the moment they came up. Other than that, fun game concept, would recommend introducing the wires earlier because otherwise it will not be obvious that this is not a regular platformer.

Odd, it works for me with uBlock in advanced mode, blocking all third-party content (which is my default) while allowing hwcdn.net. I played the whole game, no problems here.

Weird, now it works for me as well! First time I tried the game ran, but my keypresses were not registered. Disabling uBlock fixed it (but so would a reload probably).

Perhaps some focus related issue.

Pretty fun and great for a jam.

I'd prefer holding down to repeat keys, plus a button that basically zips the wire back to the other base as I quit around level 11 due to the monotony of backtracing.

It's a lot of fun!
