Woah, you did this jam too!? t hats cool.
Nice game! I think you should simplify the controls so that you don't have to siwtch control between arms but otherwise very nice!
Thanks :) the controls were definitely a tricky part lol, we went through a few different control schemes before we settled on the one it is now. Initially it was one arm used WASD and the other used IJKL (or arrow keys), but it was pretty rough to use
Very nicely executed, challenging game. Reminds me of Baby Steps or other Bennett Foddy games, this time in mechanical form. Fun concept, I could see this being a great full game loved by a certain type of target audience.
Wow. Played that for much much longer than I thought. It drives you mad when it falls out of the gripper, but I guess that's the point. Good physics. Nice game. Only learned late on I could skip one level I just couldn't do.
Struggled a bit with controls but you dont have to be acurate enoguh so that helps. Nice game
Really unique game. The controls being spaced far apart really made it seem like I was controlling a crane.
I never used an excavator in my life, but I’m sure this was a great funny training haha. Some shapes like the circle are really hard to grab because of the claw strength mechanic. That was a bit stressful, but apart from that, the art, music and mechanic are really interesting and well made :)
This is one hell of a simulation, lots of controls!
Took me ages
Super fun! Love your word play on the theme :)
The art and sounds are cute. This is a fun game with casual physics controls! Awesome:)
It's a great idea and a whimsical game. This is one of the best interpretations of the theme that I've seen.
Super fun and hard game. Good job.
super fun! we almost had the same theme idea, but were gone with another approach. Only complain is that the difficulty curve was a bit too steep for me :D
