What playing this feels like

The task is moving one object from wherever it hangs down to the mummy waiting below. The only tools are cutting the ropes and whatever momentum the physics hands you afterwards.

Difficulty lives in the order. Cut the left rope and the object swings right; cut both at once and it drops straight down. Later stages add extra lines and pivot points that complicate the route considerably. Pressing quickly achieves nothing at all; picturing the path before the first cut achieves most of it.

The tomb setting is drawn as dark-toned cartoon work with nothing genuinely frightening in it — the mummy looks more peckish than menacing. Anyone wanting a light physics puzzle that still fits the site's darker mood will find this sits comfortably in between.
