Vehicle building is always great. It felt a bit like cheating but I kept entirely rebuilding halfway to the goal to finish.
ah it’s ok, just glad you had fun! :)
Loved it, very well done.
thank you so much!! :) glad you enjoyed it
I love it tho i can cheese the fan lol but other than that Absolutely great game I remembered bad piggies when i played this is so good and well polished <3 Thank you for making this game Awesome game
No problem! :) Glad you enjoyed
Very cool game! I like how the wheel works even on the rail to allow you to create a monorail-type vehicle. The floater doesn't work quite the way I thought it would, since it seems like there's still some heavy damping on your vehicle even with the floater active; it doesn't keep its velocity as if it were actually in zero gravity.
I really liked this one!
Thanks for playing! I put some damping on the floater to make sure the player doesn’t lose control, which would make it less fun. Let me know if you think this should be changed, though! :) Glad you enjoyed!
Very cool game concept. Is there a way to rotate piece using keyboard input or do they only rotate once the vehicle is in action? I found the fan levels very difficult as they would always aim upwards. This frustrated me a bit as I didn't know if I was missing something. I really like how you implemented the clipping of pieces into place (though if you try clipping a piece into the wall the vehicle going into a frenzy). The different movement types are cool. The music is very nice, and the SFX are a nice touch. I tried making a similar type of game for the last GMTK jam, but didn't make it quite as polished. Well done!
Thanks for playing! You can rotate pieces with Q and E. The clipping can be a bit janky at times. :) Thanks for checking it out!
I enjoyed playing it! I'd love to see it developed further. Controls are a bit too complex I feel like but with combining all the different blocks I don't see any way around it.
If I had a bit more time, I could see myself having developed a better control scheme. I plan to work on it at some point after the jam, so I may improve it! Thanks for playing! :)
Cool concept. This kind of enjoyment. I do check description and try press 'R' but level didn't restart at all. By the way I like this game.
You have to press and hold it down for 1 second for it to work, just so you don’t press it by accident. I’ll make that change in the description, tho! :) thanks for playing!
Good decision. Restart game unintentionally is pain. Thank for your reply. I can return to enjoy the game more and more.
Interesting concept! Good way to express creativity.
I totally agree! Thanks for playing! :)
Sick !! That's really impressive for 4 days in solo dev !
Thank you so much! :) I enjoyed making it!
Cool idea, but you should have an audio slide because I’m going deaf after this one
I tried to make it balanced... sorry. I'll add that after the jam tho :) Thanks for playing!
Great art and fun game. I loved building and messing around with making the strangest vehicles. Nice work! :)
Thanks so much for playing! Glad you had fun :)
That’s pretty cool!
Do you plan to work on it more after the Jam?
Thanks for playing! :) And yes I will probably expand it to include more interesting puzzles, more areas, and more devices.
I am a simple man. I see a vehicle building game. I give 5 stars for Creativity and Enjoyment.
Only criticism is the complex controls but otherwise really fun
Thanks so much!!! :) Glad you enjoyed it!!
