Pretty good, but the line between 2 and 3 stars is razor-thin on too many levels.

I'm pretty sure I cheated on 4-15 by slipping in between 2 objects that should have been impossible. Ran into that kind of glitch on a few other levels.

Did anyone else prefer the default/starting skins to the ones you get with stars? That whole game aspect is just fluff.

I'll be honest with you, a lot of unity games on Newgrounds are unimpressive, but this one got me pretty good. I'll admit I found myself playing this for a while.
I'll start off with the things I like,

- Music is calming, which is good for this type of game
- GUI and art is great, suits the game. (Though they do feel a bit like pre made assets)
- Most of these games have limits that make the game require some thinking. I think you've accomplished this with the rope limit
- I enjoy the animations

I do think your game overall is pretty good, but here are some things that I found that maybe you would consider fixing/adding:

- The game starts to get repetitive and boring after a while. Most games of these types avoid this by implementing new mechanics and obstacles as you go, instead of being the same throughout. I know you did this but it seems a bit too long until you see a new obstacle/mechanic.
- Some of the sprites (Especially the star sprites) seem to have a white outline. I can't tell if this was intentional but it seems like an error with the cropping.
- Even with the nice animations, the levels do feel a bit empty and dead. You could fix this by adding swaying trees, shrubs, or even small animals to make the game feel more alive.
- Different backgrounds would be a nice change, as the current one (Though I like it) gets boring after a while

I hope my feedback helps you.

Thanks a ton for a honest critique!
I will take in to consideration and add all of your points into my "To Do" list.
As for the backgrounds, there are chests that you buy for gems that contain different kinds of skins for your rope, moving piece and even background. But I see that it wasn't communicated very well in the game and I will have to introduce that better.

And yes, this helps a lot.

Neat, but on 1-7, 1-10, 1-22, 1-25, 3-4, 3-9, 3.13 its seemingly impossible to get 3 stars, at least imo
On 2-25 i encountered a bug, in which one of the polleys would become intangible

Completed the game with 209 starts
Very clever puzzles. I'd like to see a Walkthrough. I'm curious

Shamahan responds:

Hey, thanks for the comment! Some levels might not be that obvious but I have made sure that each level is doable on 3 stars.
I made a walkthrough for each level here: https://dragtherope.imgbb.com/albums

I also just updated the game with a new pack (nr. 2), though it may appear that you have already beaten it.

Nice graphics and puzzles, great job :)

Shamahan responds:

Thank you! I'm happy you liked it!
