Not bad
It isn't bad for a 24 hour game, but has some serious flaws:
- getting a longer rope actually means you get less stars, beacuse there are the same number, just more spread out. When you have a short rope you can get almost all of the stars, because they are all nearby...
- rope breaking has no relation to the tension on the rope, it is simply about time. I got "rope almost breaking" during a bounce, when the rope wasn't stretched at all.
- You don't really bounce at all until you have three or four points in length, and even when it is maxed there is only one bounce that moves you up enough to get a few more stars.
- It is annoying that the only way to end a level is either not save or cut the rope, which means you die either way...
Basically, to beat this just raise star amount as much as possible, raise strength a couple so that you can save, and then replay without upgrading until you have enough points to raise everything in one go so as to get the upgrade.
So nice, but needs a lot more work and thought put into it
