Strings Attached

A short physics game about connections.

Entry for the Gamedev.tv jam  may 2026

The gradient filled ball ( mother of all prototype game assets ),  can barely move alone,  she will need to bond with some friend to complete her journey. ( spoiler: they're balls too ).

Update on controls:

the lone ball can barely move without the help of other orbs, at the beginning time your dashes according to loss of speed as controls are inhibited when the ball reaches it's velocity limit ( fast = can't dash / slow = can dash ).

Controls:

WASD/direction arrows to move.

Space/numpad 0 to dash.

RMB grab a helper orb.

LMB leave a helper orb

P to pause.
