I think this is the best game I've played in this jam so far, really like the mechanics as well as sense of progression as you accumulate more followers.
A few things could be improved though:
-A little animation, like flipping the character sprite when moving, could've made the movement a bit better.
-You can also reset the crane game by exiting the machine and entering again with no penalty - this feels like it's cheating, as you can get optimal spawn positions of objects this way.

I would have loved to do walking animations/polis it, but that ended up being pushed further and further back on the to do list, we might add it after the voting period tho!
And yeah, resetting the crane is kinda like cheating but we kept it as a safe measure in case objects get stuck permanently. It is very hard to control what objects do when using physics so we decided to allow for players to "cheat" and feel sneaky about it than possibly punishing them by giving super hard or impossible machines!
Thank you for the comment tho! We want to keep working on it after the jam so hearing this feedback is great!
