I may have overcomplicated my game. This game has everything I will ever need.
Loved the game! I came back to it a few times. Just a shame about the second level. Would love to see more time put into this one!
We definitely will fix the most jarring bugs like the watertank and add some QOL after the voting period! Very happy to hear that you returned to it a few times, that's awesome :)
This was a lot of fun and really creative. I had no idea what to do at first but then it finally clicked and it was really cool :) Violently shaking the machine wasn't my best strategy..
hahaha it can work though! Happy that you enjoyed the experience 🙏
NO WAY YOU DID THIS
Every memory of these toys feels like a dream because I was so little
haha happy to hear your excitement!
I feel so seen, like something buried deep within me was calling out to put a crazy ass spinning wheel in one of these things.
Hahaha exactly my thoughts when we brainstormed this! Can't say how actually useful they are - but they are fun to watch.
I miss these kinda stuff back in the old days man. Well, I love the sfx, and buttons feel very responsive. Pretty cosy game you guys made!
A new notes to take is that, maybe add a mechanic to prevent players from messing up there tank with misinput in the upgrading part. I was playing around the adding more hooks and bumpers, and they just straight up ruin the tank ;)) I guess a few hitbox checkers to prevent players from placing things too close to each other is good enough.
Still a good submission you guys had!
Glad you liked the overall game!
Yeah we are aware that is not very user-friendly, sadly we simply ran out of time (submitted the final build less than a minute before close). We had the exact idea with the hitbox checkers though, haha!
Thanks for your nice feedback :)
Not the most creative game, but definitely a fun one that is well executed. I like it.
I would also have said, that it's polished, but the upgraded water tank spawned without rings, so I got softlocked there.
glad you liked it!
Yeah that bug we knew right after we uploaded 😭 we wrote in the description that it leads to the rings despawning - we hope to fix it eventually.
This was initially very fun. I love upgrade games and everything. However, once I placed a spinner and a bumper, I kind of screwed myself over, and I could not figure out how to remove them. In my view, these kind of games should allow players to make mistakes. A trash can mechanic might work, lose the money for upgrade but at least you don't block the rods forever.
Or did I miss on how to remove them?
You're absolutely right! Sadly we didnt have the time as we ran into some major issues taking up way more time than planned - but i had this in mind the whole time. Glad you still enjoyed it in the beginning!
Cool. Didn't want to be too critical because it was very fun. 96 hours is a very short amount of time right?
absolutely it is - and you never know how many unforseen problems can arise in that short of a time 😅
Ok, this is absolutely a 10/10 for me! I used to love this games as a kid and it's so satisfying to play a digital version of it! I loved it!
wow thank you! We are happy to know we hit a nostalgic nerve with it, thanks for your feedback :)
Sweet childhood memories with a dash of strategy. absolutely i love it!
Thank you for trying. Glad you liked the game 😁
Amazing this game really takes you back to childhood. cool idea, thanks for your work. seriously top notch and the art is five stars
I feel nostalgic to play that game in childhood... Fantastic team-work!
Thank you! Glad we could hit that nostalgia feel :)
Fun game very satisfying, really like the art. Good Job! be sure to check out my game :D
Thank you, glad you like the artwork and game feel! I tried your game but it wouldn't recognize any of my key-inputs after pressing start :(
try reloading that happened once to me not sure why
I used to have one of these as a kid.
Seems like a lot of people did - except me! Thankfully my team had more a childhood than me apparently.
Omg how nostalgic!! Really wonderful experience!! I had so much fun trying this digitized version of the classic game!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed this silly game.
I love the gamification of this classic toy. nostalgia vibes. art is great too!
