Well, this is adorable. I loved being back at nursery again and making cute little models. I wish I'd remembered more glue though because my monster lost his eyes and legs. I think it gets a little fiddly moving the bar at the bottom to see the other items (maybe use the mouse wheel?) but that's a minor issue in a fun experience.

Hey, thanks for playing! Fun to watch someone actually play the game and see what they do! Will hang this one with the rest!

Thanks for playing! Rotation should be either A / D or Left / Right Arrow keys while holding an item. Holding involved actively grabbing / moving an object. The graphics being simple is mainly done because when many objects are combined together it can get very visually muddy, and this I thought this will help. All suggestions are appreciated tho and will help shape the future of the game so thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! Selection is getting looked at / reworked in the post-jam version so stay tuned!

I definitely appreciate the extensive feedback! Both big issues you mention are indeed issues, and based on lots of feedback so far, they will be addressed in the post-jam build.
Hitboxes on some items are indeed incorrect and luckily are easily fixed. I will find a better way to handle the item scrolling in the future as I do still want to keep the dragging as way of adding more to the board. Deleting also will be added and was mainly an oversight on my part.
Glue will be looked at as well, and your point about it is a good one. I will definitely be changing it to be even easier to use while Krafting.
Even drawing / painting might become an addition (should I get the shader to work lol) so stay tuned!
Thank you very much for the awesome feedback as these types of comments help shape the future of my projects!

Thanks for the detailed comment and I am glad you had a fun time! The screenshot functionality, while not entirely my code, was fun to setup and use for this game. I don't necessarily agree this game needs a goal as games usually have, but a planned post-jam feature is some template stencils to use as bases for making Krafts to help give an idea of how to get things started.

Thanks! That will definitely be a feature in the post-jam build, also currently anything not glued down falls off at the end anyways.

Haha, I am glad you enjoyed it! I agree it is both relaxing and fun to mess around with. Gonna put that lovely face on the itch page!
Thanks for playing! There is a scroll bar on the bottom of the screen you can use to get to the other items. If it is not there, please let me know if you were full screen or not, and I can take a look at fixing it in the next build. As for item deletion / removing, this will also come in the next build as I did not have the time to fit it in, and items always fall off if they are not glued when finished anyways.
