I had the same problems with placing tiles as many other (my zoom setting was at 100%, changing it did not make my clicks line up with the grid either), but managed to build a decent vehicle anyways. It was fun while I could see it, but it sadly left the camera view after a bit of flying rightwards.
So as a lot of you noted, placing objects on the grid is pretty broken. It works perfectly on my device UNTIL I use the browser zoom feature, which finally let me replicate the issue. If your grid is weird, zooming either in or out with CTRL + PLUS or CTRL + MINUS should fix the problem. Whoops.
I like the concept. The placement of the tiles was a bit difficult, it didn't seem to place the objects at the proper places. After experimenting a bit I managed to build a vehicle that kind of worked the way I wanted it to work. Good job! With a little more polishing this could be a great game!
Thanks! The issue is related to the browser's zoom settings which apparently have different defaults for each person. You can fix it by using CTRL + PLUS or CTRL + MINUS to change your zoom. If I got people to playtest my game beforehand instead of submitting at the last minute maybe I would have caught this ahaha.
I see, I might give it another try.
Hard to place the parts in the right spot - a preivew might've been good, but I really love the idea!

Great concept but when trying to build the car the item would not place at the point in the grid I have my mouse. I tried both windowed and fullscreen in the browser.
Thanks for the feedback! The issue is related to the browser's zoom settings which apparently have different defaults for each person, so I didn't know I would have to deal with it. You can fix it by using CTRL + PLUS or CTRL + MINUS to change your zoom.
i think it's cool to watch how our own set of items placed together works, goodjob on the game :)
Aw, this game is really simply, but building vehicles and seeing how they perform is one of my soft spots. I don't know if you've ever heard of "Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts," but this reminded me of that! Great effort!
Thanks! I just looked up "Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts" and now I'm nostalgic for something I never had!
Neat! The game is pretty simple but fun. I love these Bad Piggies style games, great job, this game has a lot of potential for more content!
Thanks! I would have added way more parts if I didn't wait until the last day ahaha.
