Controls

Levels
There are twenty four levels. In each one, the player must go around an area resembling a temple, and connect nodes in lines with their rope in order to make them golden.

Enemies

 * Brick birds- these enemies fly up and down or left and right. When they come in contact with plunger's rope, they will go on it and move toward plunger. if they make contact will they kill plunger
 * Brick monsters - these enemies will walk around clinging walls, and when they come in contact with plunger's rope, they will move toward it (like the brick birds, but they move slower) and if they come in contact they will kill plunger

Interactive objects

 * Power pills - when contact is made, it turns the player and their ropes invincible, but only for a short time. Additionally, plunger's ropes move faster.
 * Lasers - when the player puts their ropes on laser they can kill enemies. Plunger, however, can still be killed

Glitch

 * There is a glitch in Plunger that causes brick monsters to rotate in the air and not move. They will begin to move again when a rope touches them.

Plunger
In order to control the plunger using Nitrome Touchy, the player must tap their smartphone on any side (top, bottom, left, right), and the plunger will slide towards that direction. In order to create a rope in a new direction, opposite from the direction of the current rope, the player must tap in that direction. For example, if the rope is horizontal, the player must tap the top or bottom of their smartphone to make a vertical rope. From there, the player can create ropes and slide around the level, completing it the same way they would as with a mouse.
