This is a minimalistic platforming game where the player is joined by a ball and chain. Try to reach each level's exit by picking the ball up and throwing it around!

This game is a submission for GMTK 2021, a 48 hour game jam with the theme "joined together."


Controls: 

Use WASD or Arrow Keys to move/jump.  

Hit space to pull toward and pick up the ball. Hit space again to throw the ball, using the keys to direct your throw.

Hit the R key to reset the level.

Tip: Most of the skill involved in the game is timing your jumps after throws and holding space to boost yourself.

third level isn't possible, you can't throw up-left

Hi! Third level is definitely possible, and you can throw up-left if you hold the up and left arrow keys at the same time (you throw it in the direction that you are holding). That level is a little harder than intended, so I'll change that at some point in the future. Hope that helps!

nice job. I got stuck on the third pannel.... but i am not a good player.
