this looks rly cool and i am very curious to what it can become with a bit more time. the main thing i had an issue with was lack of i guess feedback/ tutorialization? i was just kind of confused about what was going on a lot of the time. at the character select there was no sound feedback for going to each portrait so i just kind of kept going around and around until it clicked to me what the screen was. then in the game the toys and stuff would be falling and i'd touch it (without doing the claw machine grab) and it'd be caught and then just evaporates (so, echoing rikoclon's comment!) so i was sort of confused thinking maybe i did smth wrong? but then the score would go up so i figured it was fine lol.
when the game sent me back to the first screen and i went back in again, i was able to do the claw grab thing and that felt a lot better and made more sense to me! i did read your comment on what the intent was and yes!!! it was ambitious but i hope you do go for all that post-jam :D looking forward to what's next! :D
